Seoul is completing troop dispatch to Iraq

South Korea will complete its dispatch of troops to help with the rebuilding of Iraq this week. A group of 329 military engineers will leave Wednesday morning for Iraq via Kuwait aboard a charter plane.
This will complete the contingent of 675 Korea troops Seoul is sending to Iraq project ― including 575 military engineers and 100 medics. A group of 326 engineers and medics was sent to Iraq April 30, following an advance team of 20 that left earlier.
The new group has been training to get used to conditions in Iraq. It will arrive at Nasiriyah Thursday.
The South Korean troops will be stationed at the Camp Adder, the U.S. Army’s logistics supply area in south-central Iraq. The engineers and medics will support the allied force’s reconstruction projects and help Iraqi civilians.
