MOSUL, Iraq - Three joint security stations within the city of Mosul were transferred to the government of Iraq July 26, in accordance with the U.S-Iraq Security Agreement.
Joint security stations Hotel, Castle and Mountain were originally agreed upon by U.S. and Iraq officials to remain open past the June 30 deadline; however, stable security and increased capability by Iraqi Security Forces allowed for the additional closures.
JSS Hotel was the first base of the day to be transferred. The mayor of Mosul, 3rd Federal Police Division commander, Mosul Brigade commander, and U.S. military leaders from 3rd Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, presided over the ceremony.
"Today is a day that all Iraqis should be proud of because the efforts and success of the Iraqi army and police are such that transfers like these are possible," said Lt. Col. Phil Brooks, commander of 3rd Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team. "We look forward to our continued relationship with 3rd Battalion, the other units in 2nd Iraqi Army Division, and the Zanjili District Iraqi Police as we maintain vigilance in our efforts to protect Mosul residents."
After a few short speeches, Lt. Col. Brooks and the Receivership Secretariat, Sameer Alhaddad, signed papers officially transferring the property to the government of Iraq.
Immediately after the transfer ceremony at JSS Hotel, the Secretariat went to JSS Castle, where the Gogjali District IP commander, Col. Sheet Admeer, and Maj. Scott Carpenter, operations officer for 3rd Brigade Special Troops Battalion, awaited his arrival.
Behind closed doors, only a few men sat together inside the IP commander's office and went over the paperwork prior to signing over the property. There were no formal speeches or special ceremony. Maj. Carpenter and the Secretariat spoke briefly then signed the paperwork inside the office.
JSS Castle was home to the Gogjali District Iraqi Police Transition Team from the 351st Military Police Company. The 351st MP Company is now moving to Forward Operating Base Sykes and focusing on a new mission with 6th Battalion, 9th Cavalry Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team.
"Since 30 June the IP in Mosul haven't asked for our help," said Sgt. Guy Weber, a platoon sergeant with 351st Military Police Company. "So now we're going to conduct security operations with the IP along the Syrian border."
The final transfer of the day was that of JSS Mountain, located in the neighborhood of Judaydat Al Mufti. Mountain had been used to conduct operations in east Mosul with the Iraqi Army by 2nd Battalion, 82nd Field Artillery Regiment, 3rd Brigade Combat Team since January.
The U.S. Soldiers living at JSS Mountain finished packing early in the morning and loaded the last of Mountain's belongings onto one Heavy Expanded Mobility Tactical Truck. Both the U.S. and Iraqi forces jointly put together a ceremony to mark the day that USF would hand over Mountain to the ISF.
Maj. Fred West, executive officer of 2nd Battalion of the 82nd Field Artillery Regiment, greeted the Secretariat as he entered JSS Mountain. The two had a cordial discussion in the reception area on the future of the JSS.
After Maj. West and the Secretariat officially signed over JSS Mountain to the Iraqis, the U.S. Soldiers said their goodbyes to their Iraqi Army counterparts. The IA were grateful of the help that the unit had provided them and expressed a desire to continue their relationship in the future.
"The happiest moment is at the signing of the property," said Receivership Secretariat, Sameer Alhaddad. "You see the excitement in the eyes of the Iraqis as they officially take ownership for security and the Americans as they are happy to hand it over."
To date, 3rd Brigade Combat Team has closed or transferred seven joint security stations within Mosul since Jan. 1. Only three joint security stations now remain in the city.
