Is this about lack of staffing at private sector hospitals, is it about private sector hospitals getting free (taxpayer funded) medical help, is it the failure of ‘Obamacare’/ACA healthcare, or is there some other ulterior reason?

In 2015, Lockheed Martin was given an $8-million contract to help maintain Iraq’s C-130E and C-130J transports, good until Summer 2017.

In 2014, the U.S. government approved a Foreign Military Sale to Iraq of $800-million worth of equipment, parts, training and logistical support for Iraq’s C-130E and C-130J transports.

The final three, of the original order of six, Iraqi C-130J-30s were delivered in April 2013.

Iraq’s first C-130J-30s were delivered by a ‘select crew’ from Rhode Island Air National Guard’s 143rd Airlift Wing (the first and longest serving C-130J Super Hercules unit, according to the Air National Guard).

By the end of 2012, Iraq got three brand new Lockheed Martin C-130J-30s, the first half of a U.S. Office of Security Assistance-Iraq’s Strategic Framework Agreement-Foreign Military Sale of six C-130Js.  The deal (presented to the U.S. Congress in 2008, the deal then ‘upgraded’ to include helicopters in 2009) was estimated to be worth $1.5-billion over the life of the program, and initially included four Rolls-Royce AE 2100D3 spare engines; six AAR-47 missile warning systems; two spare AAR-47 missile warning systems; six AN/ALE-47 countermeasures dispensing systems; and two spare AN/ALE-47 countermeasures dispensing systems.
