US Army soldiers receive awards from Kuwaiti Army
KUWAIT: A Kuwaiti general, Kuwaiti soldiers and 201st soldiers, Staff Sgt. Robert Cooke, Spc. Colin Smith, and Spc. Lance Dicken were recognized for conducting a weapons maintenance class for the 94thMechanized Infantry Brigade, commonly referred to as the Al-Yarmouk Brigade, according to a report published on the website Defense Video and Imagery Distribution System.
Originally the Camp Buehring contractors that handle all the ranges and weapons classes for Buehring, were supposed to conduct the class but due to a scheduling conflict, the 201st soldiers volunteered to fill in. Out of gratitude, Cooke, Dicken and Smith were invited to meet the Kuwaiti Brig. Gen. on Dec. 21 at the brigade army headquarters.
"It was kind of a train the trainer course for the M2 and M60 machine guns," explained Cooke, from Morgantown, West Virginia. "They were issued these weapons without ever receiving an operator or maintenance class. They knew all the basics, but they weren’t conducting the proper maintenance necessary for these weapons to perform properly," he added.
The three-day training consisted of basic weapons operations, extensive maintenance and how to perform immediate corrective actions for malfunctions.
"We were excited to meet the general but we had no idea he was going to present us with certificates of appreciation," explained Cooke. "Brig. Gen. Ferras Ali Al-Sabti thanked us and shook each of our hands. He explained many of his men haven’t had the opportunity to receive advanced training on the machine guns because it’s so hard to find knowledgeable instructors."
"I’m glad we had the opportunity to assist the Kuwaiti Army," continued Cooke. "They were extremely knowledgeable and very attentive during the classes and we had an amazing time interacting with them."
"The Kuwaiti Army is more knowledgeable and better prepared to utilize their issued weapons systems and the successful weapons classes represent the remarkable bond between US and Kuwaiti forces," he concluded.
