THE 143rd IN IRAQ is the historical account of a Connecticut National Guard Military Police Company's attempt to recruit, train and prepare an Iraqi Police Force in 2003-2004. From training for desert conditions in upstate New York in the dead of winter without winter gear, to driving through the night into the morning, trying find Baghdad using pieces of a map puzzle, to entering war zones without the required soldiers, weapons or ammo, Marc Youngquist shares how the 143rd Military Police Company did what they could to fulfill their mission in spite of it all. MSG Younquist has again provided invaluable service to our nation with this book. His ability to relate personnel, equipment and training to mission requirements makes "The 143rd in Iraq, In Spite of It All" a must read for military professionals and civilian leaders alike. MSG Younquist's real life experiences accurately describe the challenges leaders face today. I wish I had had this book when I was teaching in ROTC. Major Robert E.
