The Defense Department in a programme has helped to reopen three factories which were closed down after the disaster and in an effort, is buying uniforms and armored vehicles from two of them.
The Department has revived a large textile factory in Najaf and has opened a vehicle factory in south of Baghdad. It has also started a business of modernizing factories.
Representatives from private industry in US are encouraged to do business in Iraq.
One such company has planned to buy clothing from the textile factory that may reach American shelves by next autumn.
Paul Brinkley the Deputy Undersecretary of Defense in charge of Pentagon says that the Defense program will help to reopen private as well as government factories.
