    Over 1,000 Wheelchairs Transferred to Iraq in 40-ft. Containers

    (Left) Spc. Chanel Frazier of Miami, an administrative specialist with the 1st Theater Sustainment Command (Theater), helps the 311th Sustainment Command (Expeditionary) civil affairs team at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait. The group transferred 1,100 unassembled wheelchairs for Iraqis from one 40-foot sea/land container to another Jan. 27. The containers are held under different contracts. The blue container has to go back to the shipping yard while the grey container's destination will take it as far north as Mosul, Iraq. The children's hospital in Basra will receive 500; 100 will go to Tallil; 500 will go to Tikrit, and 100 will go to Mosul. The wheelchairs were donated by Free Wheelchairs Mission from Irvine, Calif. Over the last 10 months the 311th ESC civil affairs team received an average of six 40 foot containers of humanitarian supplies from non-profit groups in the United States. The supplies have included anything from medical to school supplies for Iraqis to care packages for U.S. service members.
