    The Iraqi Army's 3rd Brigade, 7th Iraqi Army Division at Camp Al Qa'im, Iraq, received 50 brand-new, tan Humvees this month from Iraq's Ministry of Defense in an effort to provide Iraqi Security Forces more heavily armored - and reliable - vehicles. Before the soldiers can begin conducting security operations in their new trucks, Marines of 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, are equipping the soldiers with the training and knowledge they'll need to operate the up-armored vehicles. Here, Staff Sgt. Lynn D. Brown, a Detroit, Mich., native and lead instructor for the course, demonstrates use of a fire extinguisher to a class of Iraqi students June 17, 2007. "For someone who has never been behind the wheel of a Humvee, they're doing pretty good," said Cpl. Alfredo Solis, a motor transport operator and instructor for the course. (Photo by Cpl.
