Progress Being Made
- Audited more than 1,200 km of the fiber optic backbone network and performed emergency repairs, reconnecting 20
- Rebuilt three major bridges-Khazir, Tikrit and Al Mat bridges-critical to moving people and commercial products
- Rebuilt a substantial portion of the Iraqi Republican Railway line connecting Basrah with the port of Umm Qasr including
physical track construction, installing culverts, and repairing gatehouses. The remainder of the work has been
handed over to the Ministry of Transportation (MOT). This work allows shipments of bulk cargo from the port to Baghdad
and throughout the country.

- Worked directly with the World Food Program (WFP) and Coalition Forces to re-establish the Public Distribution System
(PDS) in less than 30 days, avoiding a humanitarian food crisis and providing food security throughout the country.

- Iraqi workers in Baghdad finished the $3.6M Al Amari Water Distribution project this week. The project can produce approximately 250 cubic
meters of potable water daily and service about 2,000 families in the Al Amari and 9-Nissan areas of Baghdad.
