In August 2003 Honduras President Ricardo Maduro sent a troop of 370 officials, technical staff and soldiers to Iraq in support of the international contingent led by the United States.[1]
The troop was called Tarea Xatruch[1] Battalion in honor of General Florencio Xatruch. The group included 40 officials, 22 sub-officials, 21 technical staff and 287 soldiers. They left August 11 for Spain for a training period, and then to Nasariya, Karbala, and Najaf in Iraq, where they joined 360 Salvadoran, 230 Nicaraguan, 300 Dominican, and 1,300 Spanish officials and soldiers.
