LTC Joel Armstrong reports the following:
*He will check into the 84th Engineer's spouses' concern that the soldiers attached to other units are not getting enough bottled water and not getting hot meals.
*Mail backlogged from April is flowing.
*The troopers have cleared munitions out of 274 of the 304 area schools.
*There are 1.8 million people who live in the Cougar reduced area of operation. It is one of the most dense sections.
*The Squadron continues work with their established infrastructure repair teams working on roads, sewers etc.
*The trash clean-up project is on-going.
*Continued progress is being made on the soccer field.
*Cougar is working with officials to get propane and gas into their sector.
*Cougar troopers have confiscated 408 weapons to date.
*Joint security patrols with the Iraqi police force are ongoing. Joel has daily meetings with the Iraqi Chief of Police.
*The Squadron is working on establishing a City Municipal Building. The troopers continue to assist in standing up the local government. To date 6 local councils have been established. One representative from these councils will participate in the District Council which in turn will have representation at the City Council.
*Cougar operates an ammunition supply point. To date, the troopers have removed six thousand tons of munitions and 224 UXOs.
*Cougar continues to battle with subversive elements but the soldiers are well trained and very good at what they do.
*Joel is very proud of the way the Cougar troopers are executing all missions and sends his thanks back home to the spouses and family members who are supporting them.
