In early 2005 I was invited to Baqubah by some cheeses at War Horse and was driven around the city for a couple of days by a BDE CDR's PSD. They were assigned to that role, 2 vehicles, three troops per. They were junior guys, pretty good at the task, but rather laissez faire about everything. Probably fed up with having to drive lots of VIPs and not-so-VIPs (like me) through what was then becoming a rather active IED alley.

Cheers,
