- Story Text: Iraqis in the city of Tikrit have signed up to join the
civil defence.
Fifty Iraqis from various tribes volunteered for a training course
organised by the U.S. army. It began on Friday (August 15).
The three-week physical and military training recruitment course is being
held by the 4th Infantry Division in Tikrit.
Once trained they will sign contracts for one year and their role will
involve securing and protecting government and important buildings in the city.
The next course will begin in a month.
