The Iraqi Railway Police (IRP) have received 300 sets of body armor from the US military. At a ceremony in downtown Baghdad, Marine Colonel Dennis Arinello presented the body armor to IRP officers in a ceremony that united Coalition Forces and Iraqis.
The body armor will help the Iraqi Railway Police search for explosive devices on trains and rail tracks with greater security.Colonel Arinello told IRP officers the 300 sets of body armor had previously protected US Marines who served in Iraq. To demonstrate how safe Colonel Arinello felt in his body armor, he removed his personal flak jacket and gifted it to Colonel Asad, Head of the IRP. — (menareport.com)
