From Hillsdale the convoy drives to the District Advisory Council (Dac) in 9 April district, named for the day American forces entered Baghdad and brought down Saddam.

The Dac, where Iraqis are taking control of their own affairs, is also where we our have our Civilian-Military Operations Centre (C-Moc). C-Mocs are the focus of Civil Affairs work, where civilians can come to raise issues with the military. The building was an Iraqi Air Force command centre. We moved the C-Moc here after we were bombed out of the UN compound.
