PR: 301st keeping the thugs in line

At a time when more allegations of abuse have surfaced in connection with U.S. soldiers at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison, a military unit based in Puerto Rico has been redeployed to work security detail at the prison.

The U.S. Army's 301st Reserve Unit, based at Fort Buchanan in Guaynabo, has been at Abu Ghraib prison since early March, military sources reported to the local press.

Buchanan Army Reserves spokesman Pedro Silva said more than 130 soldiers from the 301st are stationed in Iraq. The 301st was deployed on February 20, and has presumably been in Iraq since March.
