Description
A Kuwaiti manned check point between Kuwait City and Camp Viriginia. There are a number of signs, written in both English and Arabic, indicating that vehicles must stop at the check point. Camp Virginia is a multinational transit camp approximately 45 minutes out of Kuwait City. It is the first and last check point for soldiers entering and leaving Iraq, and in 2005 the approximately 400 permanant staff processed around 340,000 troops.
