Thank you very much for the warm welcome.
We arrived in Iraq in January 2004, and we thought we were on a peacekeeping stability mission. This became a combat operation after Easter of 2004, with operations in Fallujah and Sadr City. For that whole period, which was a peacekeeping stability operation that became a full-blown insurgency, you would not deal with putting down land mines from a tactical or operational standpoint. None of that was within the context.
In answer to your question, there was no exposure to mines in theatre other than mines that were left from the previous Iraq-Iran war and clearing those in the south-southeast of the country.
