Army Capt. Rob C. Davis, an artillery officer with the 48th Brigade Combat Team assigned to the 2nd Battalion of the 130th Infantry Regiment, listens to ?Alex,? a translator, as he reads Iraqi documents to him in a grievance filed by an Iraqi family. The family?s legal representative, Mohammed, pays attention as the translator deciphers all of the information to Davis. Davis is the civil military officer for the unit responsible for helping Iraqis recover from the hardships that fighting terrorists has brought with it. Davis must compile, translate and organize the information necessary to validate each claim before he can make the condolence payments. So far, the civil military operations program here has worked with U.S. Marine financial disbursers to distribute close to $50,000 in grievances and rewards for information leading to terrorist apprehension. The unit has helped the nearby villages with various humanitarian support projects such as re-supplying the local clinics, food distributions and has even given out soccer nets for playgrounds.
