Defining the role of the U.S. Army Rehabilitation and Prosthetic Assistance Team in reconstruction operations was a key component of this first of its kind Army Medical Department (AMEDD) mission in a combat theater of operations. In the tradition of civil-military operations, a five-man team trained 11 Iraqi rehabilitation and prosthetic providers on best clinical, technical, and business practices to manage the nation's growing amputee population. The team instructed, assisted, and supervised Iraqi clinicians in the delivery of prosthetic and rehabilitation services to 124 patients over 350 patient clinical visits. After a successful transition from Multi-National Force-Iraq oversight to the Iraqi Ministry of Defense (MoD), the premier prosthetics and rehabilitation clinic in Iraq now provides services to patients from current and past conflicts, including civilians and pediatric patients.
确定美国陆军康复与假肢援助小组在重建行动中的作用，是陆军医疗部门（AMEDD）在作战战区开展的此类首次任务的关键组成部分。按照军民合作行动的传统，一个五人小组对11名伊拉克康复与假肢服务提供者进行了最佳临床、技术和商业实践培训，以应对该国不断增加的截肢者群体。该小组指导、协助并监督伊拉克临床医生为124名患者提供假肢和康复服务，累计进行了350多次患者临床问诊。在成功从驻伊拉克多国部队的监督过渡到伊拉克国防部之后，伊拉克一流的假肢与康复诊所目前为来自当前和过去冲突中的患者提供服务，包括平民和儿科患者。
