Pfc. Ryan Jones, a medic with B Company, 215th Brigade Support Battalion, 3rd Advise and Assist Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division conducted medical training with Sgt. Rashad Sherif, a medic with Company 41, Military Transportation Regiment, 10th Iraqi Army Division March 24. Jones said the training will enable Sherif to teach his comrades new medical techniques in the future. “If we can take two or three knowledgeable medics and make them instructors, they can turn around and train the whole base after we’re gone,” he said.
