In April 2003 we (the 490th Civil Affairs Bn) arrived on BIAP (Baghdad International Airport)and began working with the Iraqi Airways employees to recover and repair over 100 peices of ground support equipment. This equipment had been stolen and vandalized by the Iraqis shortly after the start of the war. There was not one peice of equipment fully operational when we began.When we left in Mar 2004 and the Royal Jordainian airways was using the equipment for daily flights. Just another little known fact
