Amarah Airbase

Camp Condor
Camp Condor is a British operating location in the vicinity of Al Amarah. The Job Creation Scheme will create 2,500 jobs for the Province. The registration phase will be took place in Al Amarah, Camp Condor and Camp Jennings, as the jobs will be split geographically to make sure the scheme provides for everyone. The BG processed 11,000 applicants. This was an awesome number of people to get through in a day and required a real BG effort from the troops on the ground, the clerks, the chefs and all the guys in the QM's.
