On 14 June, 2007, children gaze up at Petty Officer 3rd Class Jessica Vessel of Special Operations Task Force-West (SOTF-W) as she interviews a family during an Iraqi Women's Engagement (IWE) operation in Fuhaylat, Iraq. The IWE conducted face to face interviews with the women in order to gather atmospherics, identify needs and concerns of local families and facilitate future operations. SOTF-W is deployed with Multi National Forces-West in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom in the Al Anbar province of Iraq to develop Iraqi Security Forces, facilitate the development of official rule of law through democratic reforms, and continue the development of a market based economy centered on Iraqi reconstruction.
