Medical truck trains Iraqi healthcare staff

The Operations, Maintenance and Sustainment branch at Gulf Region Division, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Iraq, spent part of June refurbishing a medical equipment training truck that will be returned to the Iraqi Ministry of Health. The mobile medical equipment training lab can also do double duty, providing first responder medical care at Iraq's religious pilgrimages. A total of four similar trucks were shipped to Iraq from the U.S. in 2005, but they were damaged during transportation. The dental chair, repair work, and other improvements were added to the truck for less than $30,000.
