<p>03 June 2008<br/><strong>OBG(W) and Australian Army Training Team-Iraq journey home (73~74樓)</strong></p><p>Soldiers from the Overwatch Battle Group (West) and the Australian Army Training Team-Iraq leave Tallil on a Royal Australian Air Force C-130 aircraft.</p><p>Some months ago the Diggers had handed over responsibility for security in Al Muthanna and Dhi Qar provinces to retrained Iraqi security forces. They have now handed over their residual "overwatch" and training responsibilities to soldiers from the U.S. Army’s 82nd Airborne Division.</p><p>The first leg of their journey home will take the soldiers to Australia’s main support base in the Middle East where they will conduct a rang of administrative checks before returning to Australia.</p><p>After more than six months away from home the soldiers are proud of the many achievements of the Battle Group and the Training Team but are also keen to return home and see family and friends.</p><p>The Australian troops still in southern Iraq are well advanced on their pack-up and are on track to return to Australia mid-year, in line with the Government’s election commitment.</p><p>
