"We're teaching them things like unarmed self defense, personnel searches and vehicle searches to help better protect themselves and the Iraqi citizens," said Sgt. Maj. Richard Worthy, ops NCO, 33rd IA Bde MiTT. The primary focus of the Train the Trainer program is to train the NCO corps of the IA and Police. "The IA is officer driven right now and we want to change that," said Worthy. "By strengthening and professionalizing their NCO corps, they are able to teach their Soldiers and continue to grow as an Army without us."
