"The 319th is now working for the Army's
260th Quartermaster Battalion.
It is stationed at Camp Arifjan, south of Kuwait City.

Soldiers say most of their work involves civilian contractor
Kellogg Brown and Root, a subsidiary of Vice President
Dick Cheney's former company, Halliburton Corp.
The company has contracts to haul fuel,
and 319th members are riding along as armed escorts.

"The main reason we're still here is to support Brown and Root,"
said Sgt. 1st Class David Uthe, 45, of Augusta."
