Buferdos, Iraq -- A convoy of = armored=20 humvees and Bradley fighting vehicles suddenly = descends on=20 this tiny hamlet in the volatile Sunni triangle. Guns = pointed,=20 the American soldiers are primed for the mission.=20

But instead of shooting insurgents, taking = prisoners or=20 hauling off a weapons cache, the soldiers of the 13th = Corps=20 Support Command set up an impromptu medical clinic, = and the=20 only things taken are Iraqi temperatures and pulses.=20

"We work in hostile environments doing humanitarian = work,"=20 said U.S. Army Col. Nicholas Zoeller. "If the bad guys = know=20 we're coming, they can set up for us. We usually come = in=20 unannounced. We do what we can and leave."=20

With the Iraqi insurgency showing little sign of = abating,=20 especially in the Sunni triangle, U.S. forces are = urgently=20 looking for ways to win hearts and minds without = risking=20 soldiers' lives.=20

It's often a patchwork solution, at best.=20

"We can't help these people much," said one = military doctor=20 at Buferdos, where soldiers recently spent two hours = quickly=20 trying to treat villagers chronically sick from = drinking=20 polluted canal water. "These people need real medical=20 attention and a real clinic. This is a Band-Aid."=20

Force protection -- the military term for measures = meant to=20 prevent troops from coming to harm -- overrides = humanitarian=20 objectives.=20

Arriving in a 12-vehicle convoy in Buferdos, the = soldiers=20 immediately post a Bradley fighting vehicle at the end = of the=20 road. They secure a school building in the center of = the=20 village to serve as the clinic. Sharpshooters are = stationed on=20 the roof, and soldiers stand guard outside.=20

Buferdos, a leafy, swampy area along the Tigris = River about=20 40 miles north of Baghdad, is a mostly Shiite town, = friendlier=20 than others in the region to the U.S. presence here. = It's also=20 in dire need of medical care.=20

From years of drinking dirty water -- there is no = access to=20 fresh water, nor regular access to fuel for boiling = the water=20 -- most of the village's 800 or so inhabitants suffer = from a=20 long list of maladies, including stomachaches, fevers = and=20 diarrhea.=20

The teenagers look like children. The children's = growth is=20 stunted. Small children afflicted with gastronomical = pains and=20 infections cry for hours.=20

Responding to the warmth shown to the troops, U.S. = soldiers=20 have lavished attention on Buferdos, holding a toy = giveaway,=20 rebuilding the local elementary school, and, last = week, trying=20 to heal the sick.=20

"It's a reward for keeping the peace," said Col. = Zoeller.=20 "We reward those who are friendly, and we don't reward = those=20 who are not friendly."=20

Zoeller was referring to nearby villages like = Shahab, from=20 where mortars and rockets are fired regularly at = Logistical=20 Support Area Anaconda, the sprawling U.S. base where = Zoeller's=20 men and 21,000 other soldiers and personnel live.=20

"Quite frankly, that village has not been = friendly," said=20 Zoeller. "We've told them when they are friendly and = stop=20 putting rockets and mortars in the base, we'll give = them=20 rewards. Until that time, we won't."=20

But even in Buferdos, the rewards are slimmer than = what=20 Iraqis expected.=20

"The coalition forces told us that we would get a = water=20 treatment plant, a clinic and paved roads," said = Yussef=20 Ibrahim, a local tribal leader, speaking through a = U.S. Army=20 interpreter. "We haven't gotten anything."=20

Zoeller, who has overseen humanitarian projects in = the=20 Balkans and in northern Iraq during the 1991 refugee = crisis,=20 said the Americans had never promised Buferdos = anything.=20 "Water projects take a long time," he said, adding = that his=20 unit had just put in a request to fund the building of = a small=20 water treatment plant.=20

On this day, after the soldiers have arrived, = Zoeller=20 summons a village elder and asks him to spread the = word: The=20 Americans have come to provide free medical care. It = takes the=20 next 20 minutes for someone to find the keys to the = locked=20 school; with classes out for the summer, the school = has been=20 closed, and no one knew the Americans were coming.=20

The villagers -- young and old, women and men -- = line up=20 outside the school, a short line for the dentists, a = long one=20 for the doctors. The soldiers unlock the school, move = desks=20 and tables out of the way, and the villagers start = pouring in.=20

Spc. Tamarin Jenkins of Seattle jots down the names = of=20 patients, an M-16 slung over her shoulder.=20

An Army doctor examines a girl in a torn pink = dress. She=20 cries uncontrollably. "Does she have a fever?" he asks = the=20 parents. "Is she vomiting?"=20

Yes and yes, they reply. He prescribes antibiotics, = warning=20 her mother that they'll cause dehydration, and that = she'll=20 have to drink water. The water that likely caused her = ailment=20 in the first place.=20

At noon, as quickly as they came, the soldiers = gather up=20 their equipment -- handing out leftover toothbrushes = and candy=20 -- and head back to the base.=20

"Hopefully, if we have positive interactions with = some of=20 the people, we can get them to police themselves and = stop the=20 insurgents," said Maj. Michael Myslenski of Brooklyn, = Conn., a=20 physicians' assistant.=20

"I want to counter the image of the ugly American," = he=20 said. "Every time that we interact with the people of = Iraq,=20 it's our chance to make a positive impression for our = military=20 and our country."=20

A few minutes after the clinic closed up, a U.S. = soldier in=20 another convoy not far from Buferdos was killed by a = roadside=20 bomb.
