Soldiers from the 382nd Military Police Detachment, an Army Reserve unit from San Diego, Calif., have been training Iraqi security officers for the several foreign embassies across Baghdad to ensure the safety of the diplomats visiting and working there.

The security officers, known as diplomatic protective services (DPS), are receiving training from U.S. Soldiers and Iraqi experts in everything from marksmanship to first aid.
