    The image shows a large group of individuals in khaki/tan uniforms gathered outdoors near large concrete blast walls (T-walls or similar military barriers). A smaller group in desert camouflage military uniforms appears to be processing or checking documents with the larger group. The setting appears to be a military installation or forward operating base in an arid environment.

    Iraq army doctors conduct medical examinations on Sons of Iraq (Abna al-Iraq) during an Iraqi police recruiting drive in Sab al Bour, Aug. 21, 2008. The aim for the recruiting drive is to increase security measures in the area and provide local citizens of Iraq with an opportunity to receive a legitimate government-paying job. In the past the SoI program was a coalition forces initiative to help the security situation within Iraq while, at the same time, gaining support from the local citizens to help deter the past high crime rate.
