IFET brings expertise to COB Basra

 
Iraq – Fifty years of experience as an architect, a master’s degree and a resume that reads like a travel guide ranging across Europe and the Middle East and even Japan: these are just a few of the things Abrahim M Oda al Timimi brings with him as the leader of the Iraqi Facilities Engineering Team at Contingency Operating Base Basra.

The unsung heroes are the guys who come along last, they put their heads down and tails up and have the job of building a "normal" environment in very difficult circumstances.
As an old timer once said to me, ….."you can loose a few of the top brass and life pretty much goes on as normal,   but you loose guys who make things happen, for instance the guy who repairs the toilet and there will soon be major problems"
