1 July, Baghdad The 410th MP Company provided landing zone security, quick reaction force, inner and outer perimeter security, escort security, and traffic control points for Saddam Husseins historic preliminary hearing before the Iraqi Special Tribunal.

Date unknown, Waldorf, Maryland An award plaque was presented to Militec-1 by Tom McKeon, President of the 720th MP Battalion Reunion Association, headquartered in Florida.

        The plaque was received by Russell Logan, Vice President of the Waldorf, Maryland company, in recognition of Militec’s support to the Battalion during Operation Iraqi Freedom I, 2003-2004. At that time Militec, at the request of the reunion association, provided a free donation of 1000 units of their special dry formula gun oil to the Battalion.

        Members of the 720th carried their Militec bottles into battle in the Iraqi, Sunni Triangle and suffered no weapons failures.
