Eyeballing the PJOC Basra, Iraq - Provincial Joint Operations Centre

"A £1.5m regional command centre for joint military operations in Basra province, southern Iraq, has been officially opened and handed over to Iraqi command.

"The Provincial Joint Operations Center (PJOC) is set within the old Shatt al-Arab Hotel, home to the Basra Operations Center (BAOC), and took three months to build. The official opening yesterday, 20 November 2008, was attended by Commander Iraqi Ground Forces, Staff General Ali Gheydan and prime ministerial advisor Mohammed Nasr. Commander of the BAOC, Major General Mohammed Jowad Hameidi, and Major General Andy Salmon, General Officer Commanding Multi-National Division South East (MND(SE)), were also present."
