Iraqi children in the town of Habbaniyah crowd around Iraqi soldiers as they and out toys and candies during a patrol. During the patrol Iraqis mingled with the locals and attempted to give something to every child who asked for something but ran out of prizes before the patrol was complete. Iraqi patrols are becoming commonplace in many areas of the Al Anbar province as U.S. forces continue to hand over more area of responsibility to the Iraqi Army. Pic: lLT Robert Shuford
