WAXAHACHIE - Army Reserve Spec. Felix N. Basweti has been mobilized and
activated at Joint Base Dix-McGuire-Lakehurst, N.J., in preparation for
deployment overseas to serve in support of Operation New Dawn.
Operation New Dawn transitions and signifies a formal end to U.S. military
combat operations in Iraq. The transition shifts the U.S. emphasis from
predominantly military to predominately civilian as the U.S. officials assist
Iraqis in accordance with the Strategic Framework Agreement.
The specialist, a fire control repairer, is a member of the 238th Maintenance
Company, based out of San Antonio, Texas. Basweti has served in
the military for three years.
He is the cousin of Nelson O. Malko of Waxahachie.
