The T-Walls of Kuwait and Iraq
|
A Bremer wall is a twelve-foot-high (3.7 m) portable, steel-reinforced concrete wall used for blast protection throughout Iraq and Afghanistan. These T-shaped walls were originally developed by the Israelis in the Israeli West Bank barrier. The term "T-wall" is commonly used by soldiers throughout Iraq and Afghanistan, due to their cross-sectional shape resembling an inverted letter T. Variations include the 1 meter tall Jersey barrier, the 12-foot (3.7 m) tall intermediate-sized "Texas" barriers and the largest 6 meter Alaska Barriers. Unlike the Jersey barrier which has sloped-sides at the base, the Texas and Alaska barriers have a rectangular ledge used as a bench for sitting. |

When given a blank canvas, an artist paints. When troops are given a blank gray concrete wall, unit insignia appears. This insignia is the subject of the book we will be selling on this website.
