Dr. Rashad Ayish Mohammed, the veterinarian in Rutbah, Iraq, administers a vaccine shot to a sheep while his assistant holds it at the veterinary clinic July 26. The shot was given to show a group of local shepherds how to administer the medical supplies they had just received. The supplies were provided by Marines with Detachment 1, Civil Affairs Team 4, 2nd Battalion, 11th Marine Regiment, Regimental Combat Team 5 and included 2 types of vaccines and a multivitamin shot.  The medicine is to help counteract some of the malnutrition the flocks have sustained due to a recent drought. ::r::::n::
