Habbaniyah and the 3/3-1 Snake Eaters

"Joint Army, Marine Military Transition Team works with the Iraqi Army in one of the most dangerous regions in Anbar province

Despite major clearing operations in Anbar province in 2004 and 2005 (what I've termed the Anbar Campaign), the province remains one of the most deadly regions of Iraq. The Anbar Campaign cleared the region of overt insurgent and al-Qaeda control (regions such as Haditha, Fallujah and Qaim were declared 'Islamic Republics' by Abu Musab al-Zarqawi for periods of time), al-Qaeda havens and ratlines, and a persistent underground insurgency remain. The focus in Anbar has shifted from large scale combat operations to counterinsurgency operations, and the integration of the Iraqi Army, Iraqi Police and tribal support is crucial to the success of the mission."
