266th MPs prepare for Iraq deployment
On Sep. 5 the Soldiers of the 266th Military Police Company conducted convoy operations to help them prepare for their upcoming mission to Iraq where they will be training the Iraqi police forces. During the live-fire training, Soldiers of the 266th mounted Humvees with Mk-19 automatic grenade launchers and .50 caliber machine guns. They reacted to simulated attacks and improvised explosive devices just as they would on the main supply routes in country. (Photo by Sgt. Andrew H. Owen, Virginia Guard Public Affairs.)
