The Corps’ top officer has pulled on full battle rattle and joined his troops in Iraq.
Commandant Gen. James Conway arrived in Iraq at 2.30 a.m. Eastern time Wednesday, with plans to visit Marine bases scattered throughout Anbar province. He is expected to be on the ground there until Aug. 8, said Lt. Col. T.V. Johnson, Conway’s spokesman.
This is Conway’s third trip to Iraq since becoming commandant late last year. His most recent trip was over Easter holidays.
