Get on line.

During the 25-day Tadreeb al Shamil training programs both Iraqi and American troops learned new skills. Teaching Iraqis to build their capabilities also sharpened the skills of the trainers, said Spc. Paul Swerda, an infantryman assigned to Company A, 1st Battalion, 27th Infantry Regiment, 2nd AAB, and a native of Tucson, Ariz. "It's going to make me a better leader," said Swerda.
