The regiment must wash the muck of Iraq off hundreds of trucks, tanks and Humvees to meet standards set by the U.S. Customs Service that are designed to keep foreign diseases, plants and insects out of America.


Why are they bringing back vehicles with the units? Wouldn't it be more efficient to issue new vehicles at home and leave the old ones in Iraq for the next wave of incoming soldiers? That's a lot of back and forth traffic for heavy vehicles.
