#1 From April 9 CENTCOM brief: We expect some time later today the arrival of a Spanish field hospital from the Spanish ship Gallacia (sp), which is inbound to Umm Qasr, and that will also significantly increase the medical support that's available in southern Iraq.
The Spanish Navy has been offshore helping guard the shipping lanes, remember they seized the Scud shipment. Where you have Navy, you have Marines. Now that the major fighting is over, I imagine that the Spanish are helping with relief operations and the marines are there to assist.
