BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraqi Army Gen. Nassir Abadi, deputy chief of staff, and U.S. Army Brig. Gen. Robin Swan, Coalition Military Assistance Transition Team commanding general, held a press conference at Old Muthanna air base to announce the delivery of more than 200 HMMWVs, 40 5-ton cargo trucks and 5 Rough Terrain Container Handlers and other types of support equipment that were purchased though the Foreign Military Sales program.
"These vehicles will protect our soldiers from large and small weapons attacks," said Abadi. "They will help our soldiers complete their missions."
The Foreign Military Sales program manages government-to-government purchases of defense articles such as vehicles, weapons, ammunition, protective equipment and uniforms.
"This is only a small portion of the equipment that is flowing into Iraq through the Foreign Military Sales program," said Swan. "We not only have supplies, but services as well. Permanent bases and the construction associated with those bases have been purchased through Foreign Military Sales."
