Bundled up against the chilly winds, U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer 2nd Class Hector Canaval, assigned to Law Enforcement Detachment 403, sits in an Iraqi navy fast attack boat while waiting for inbound ships during a patrol with Iraqi marines along the Khawr Abd Allah River near Umm Qasr, Iraq. Members of the detachment have been working with Iraqi marines with boarding and inspecting ships as a way to deter the importation and trafficking of stolen goods, weapons, and vehicles pre-wired as improvised explosive devices.
