Acknowledgements We would like to express our gratitude to the many people who helped us throughout the development, research, and drafting of this report. Our field work in Iraq would not have been possible without the help of Sherzad Khidhir. His willingness to connect us with in-country stakeholders significantly contributed to the breadth of our interviews. Those interviews were made possible by our fantastic translators, Lezan, Ehsan, and Younis, who ensured that we could capture critical information and the nuance of discussions. We also greatly appreciated the willingness of U.S. State Department officials, the soldiers of Operation Inherent Resolve, and our many other interview participants to provide us with their time and insights. Thanks to their assistance, we were able to gain a better grasp of this immensely complex topic. Throughout our research, we benefitted from consultations with numerous Harvard Kennedy School (HKS) faculty, as well as with individuals from the larger Harvard community. We would especially like to thank Harvard Business School Professor Kristin Fabbe and Razzaq al-Saiedi from the Harvard Humanitarian Initiative who both provided critical support to our project.

  • Written Testimony for HB 437 – Marine Sergeant David R Christoff Memorial Highway David Volunteered for Duty the Day After
    Written Testimony for HB 437 – Marine Sergeant David R Christoff Memorial Highway David volunteered for duty the day after the September 11, 2001 (9/11) attack on the World Trade Centers in New York City; he was motivated by the desire to protect the freedom and safety of those he loved. On February 22, 2002 he graduated from the Marine Corps Recruit Depot Parris Island as a Private First Class. He attended the School of Infantry at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina and was then assigned with the 1st Battalion, 3rd Marines, Bravo Company at Marine Corps Base Hawaii. David was promoted to Sergeant on October 1, 2004 and on his first deployment he served as Squad Leader in the second Battle of Fallujah code name “Operation Phantom Fury” which is considered to be the bloodiest battle of the Iraq war. After David returned from this deployment in March of 2005, he volunteered to transfer to the 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marines, Kilo Company because he felt there was still much work to be done in Iraq and he wanted to teach the younger Marines the hard lessons he had learned during his previous deployment. He served as Platoon Sergeant starting September 12, 2005 and was deployed to Haqlaniyah, Iraq on March 11, 2006. Upon returning from a foot patrol on May 22, 2006 David was killed by an improvised explosive device. He was laid to rest along with many other fallen heroes at Arlington National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia. During his 5 years he had the opportunity to serve, he made a lifetime of impressions on those he served with, many of whom have relayed stories of his courage, compassion and leadership, attributes he displayed on a daily basis.

  • Ninewa Governorate Profile March 2009
    Ninewa Governorate Profile March 2009 Overview Located in northern Iraq and bordering on Syria, Ninewa is Iraq’s third largest and second most populated governorate. The capital Mosul is Iraq’s third largest city. Sinjar, Telafar, Tilkaif, Al-Shikhan and Akre dis- tricts all have disputed boundaries with Dahuk. Al-Hamdaniya district has a disputed boundary with Erbil. Security worsened during the second half of 2008, with ethnic ten- sions leading to the displacement of 13,000 Christians from Mosul to surrounding areas. Although most of these families have returned and violence has decreased, the situation remains tense, particularly in Mosul city. Telafar, Sinjar, Al-Ba’aj and Hatra districts have among the worst rates of connection to the general water network in Iraq. All districts apart from Hatra have prolonged power cuts or are not connected to the general electricity network. Poverty is a significant problem in all districts except Al-Ba’aj.

Academic Editors: Chrissanthy Papadopoulou, Vangelis Economou and Hercules Sakkas Received: 23 October 2017; Accepted: 5 December 2017; Published: 7 December 2017 Abstract: Sera from 432 small ruminants (335 sheep and 97 goats) from 72 farms in Duhok Province, northern Iraq, were collected to investigate risk factors associated with brucellosis seropositivity. Serum samples were tested using the Rose Bengal test (RBT) and an indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (iELISA). Using parallel interpretation, RBT and iELISA results showed that 31.7% (95% confidence interval (CI): 26.1, 36.3) of sheep and 34.0% (95% CI: 24.7, 44.3) of goats had antibodies against Brucella in the study area. A random-effects multivariable logistic regression model indicated that a higher chance of being seropositive (odds ratio (OR) = 1.7; 95% 1.4; 2.2) was associated with an increase in the age of animals.

MYERS, SMSgt (Ret) Historian Revised & Edited by: Reviewed by: ~~~-· VINCENT ~~R~~ ALTON C. WHITLEY SMSgt, USAF Colonel, USAF I Historian Commander Office of History Headquarters 37th Fighter Wing Twelfth Air Force Tactical Air Command Preface This unclassified account of the 37th Tactical Fighter Wing's accomplishments during Operations DESERT SHIELD and DESERT STORM was prepared to permit members of the "Team Stealth" community to reflect with pride on their contribu­ tion to sustained world peace. They proved their mettle in battle and have earned the title of American warrior. It is a testament to their love for country and their willingness to sacrifice for the ideals they defend every day of their lives. The peoples of the United States and the entire Free World are forever in their debt. Nighthawks Over Iraq is based entirely on the contingency historical reports developed by SMSgt Phil Myers during his visit to Saudi Arabia as historian of the 37th Tactical Fighter Wing and the mission tally sheets developed by the wing's operations network. 2 On 5 October 1989, the 37th Tactical Fighter Wing (TFW) relocated to Tonopah Test Range, Nevada, to take up the role as the Air Force's only Stealth Fighter unit.
