An Iraqi policeman provides security during the Ramadi Soccer Tournament at the Mulaab stadium, August 14, 2008. The Iraqi police took the lead on providing security and ensuring the event went off without a hitch. The Marines with 1st Battalion, 9th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 1, served primarily in an overwatch role for the event. "The Iraqi police did a great job posting security for the tournament," said 1st Lt. Patrick J. Skehan, a platoon commander with 81mm Mortars Platoon, Weapons Company. "The Iraqi police have learned that with every new battalion that comes to the city, the expectations for the police will increase. I think, they've meet those expectations."
