Col. Juan Ayala, senior advisor to the 1st Iraqi Army Division, speaks with Maj. Gen. Tariq Abdul Wahab Jasim, commanding general of the 1st Iraqi Army Division, at Camp Habbaniyah Oct. 7. Tariq realized a troop shortage in the Iraqi Army and requested help from the government. The defense ministry responded by offering dispensation to those who went AWOL, attracting entire families back to the fighting forces. ?The fact that they came back on their own volition shows that they want to serve,? said Ayala. ?It?s going to give this division a much needed influx of soldiers.?
