Instead of shouted commands, a bugler sounded the traditional commands. Command Sgt. Maj. Bernard J. Richardson passed his responsibilities of to Command Sgt. Maj. Jim Bunch as Lt. Col. Gaylene K.

    VOL. 2, NO. 27 MULTI-NATIONAL DIVISION - BAGHDAD “STEADFAST AND LOYAL” DECEMBER 22, 2008 4th Inf. Div. Solar power project provides celebrates energy for Ameriyah Clinic By Sgt. Brian Tierce 2nd HBCT PAO, 1st Inf. Div. 91st BAGHDAD – The citizens of the Ameriyah district of northwest Baghdad have found a way to not only provide power for themselves but to also provide power where it matters most. birthday The Ameriyah Clinic was fitted with solar power panels Nov. 25 with the hopes of becoming energy independent from the Baghdad power grid – and the use of solar power is perhaps the most appropriate approach to achieving energy in Baghdad independence in this area of predominant sunlight. “In Baghdad we have, on average, 10 hours of sunlight on a daily basis,” said Mahdi Johnny, electrical engineer advisor for the solar panel installation project. “What we are getting out of these rechargeable batteries is about 72 hours of power for every 10 hours of sun.” Johnny went on to add that providing much-needed power to the clinic will not only give the staff the ability to conduct patient care on a non-stop basis, but it will also provides the clinic the ability to store its medications and various other medical supplies, which require refrigeration to remain stable. Providing solar power in Baghdad is not a new concept. Solar lights have been installed in other sections of Baghdad to reduce the freedom of movement of extremists. The unique aspect of this solar project is that the Iraqis took the lead right from the beginning.
