Iraq and Back
Iraq and Back
By Colonel Kim Olson, USAF (ret.)
In April 2003, soon after Operation Iraqi Freedom had been declared a success, President Bush sent retired U.S. Army Lieutenant General Jay Garner to Iraq to rebuild the country. As Garner’s executive officer, Colonel Olson was part of the senior leadership circle charged with the reconstruction of Iraq’s infrastructure, humanitarian assistance, and laying the foundation for a democratic process to take hold. But not long after their arrival in the rubble and ruin of Iraq, the political, military, and economic wheels ground to a halt and theirs became mission improbable. Colonel Olson explains the how and why.
