English: Lt. Col. Larry L. White, director of the civil military operations center in Iraq's Al Qa'im region, watches as family members of several disabled Iraqis who sought medical assistance from the Marines recently. The disabled Iraqis, a woman missing both legs and two children with genetic disorders, traveled from towns near the Syrian border to the Marines� headquarters at Al Qa'im. The woman, Amal, lost both of her legs during combat operations conducted by Coalition Forces against insurgents last year in her hometown near the Iraq-Syria border. Marines here from the 3rd Civil Affairs Group - a U.S. military unit responsible for assisting Iraqi communities with rebuilding local government infrastructure, commerce and economies � are jumpstarting the lengthy process of finding more advanced medical aid for the woman and the two children by working with Iraqi doctors at provincial-level medical facilities where resources for military doctors conducted a medical evaluation of the woman for an updated prognosis of her condition. �Once we establish what's wrong physically, we can engage with the Iraqi health system and government agencies to see if we can get help,� said White, a 39-year-old from St. Paul, Minn.
