Blackanthem Military News
 CAMP TAJI, Iraq - As the Iraqi Army continues to grow, their forces continue to make significant improvements in different areas. The most recent advancement for Iraqi forces on Taji was in the area of communications.
In March, U.S. Forces began an initiative to field 12,500 military radio systems to the Iraqi Army. Since the first fielding April 23, the Iraqi Army has received approximately 4,500 of their 12,500 radio systems.
The radios, which are Single-Channel Ground and Air Radio Systems, provide secure, encrypted communications and allow the Iraqi Soldiers to communicate at a range they had never been able to before.
The SINCGARs have been installed in about 300 humvees and 11 T-72 tanks; but there are enough radios to distribute to four Iraqi Army divisions, which includes 1,800 humvees, one brigade of T-72 tanks, and 600 other tactical vehicles.
