UPI is reporting the Regimental Combat Team 6 in Fallujah announced yesterday their 14-member reconstruction team is working closely with Iraqi sheiks, local civic leaders and civilians to help rebuild the local infrastructure. Recently, the RCT 6 worked with local Iraqis to turn a former artillery factory into a civilian machine shop. A brick factory in Fallujah employing 500 people is now running at full capacity.
