Col. Juan Ayala, senior advisor to the 1st Iraqi Army Division, listens to a brief at Camp Habbaniyah as several hundred Iraqi soldiers return to duty. More than 1,500 Iraqi soldiers who were absent without leave returned to duty by reporting here between Sept. 20 and Oct. 1. The Iraqi defense ministry offered 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.?
