Tester and Sen. Jim Webb, D-Va, will visit various regions of the country, meeting with military commanders, Iraqi government leaders and Montana troops.
Tester will post updates from his visit on his Web site, http://tester.senate.gov.
Tester long has criticized the Bush Administration’s management of the war. Since taking office in January he and Webb have repeatedly called on their Senate colleagues to change direction.
“There’s no doubt our military is doing a great job under incredibly difficult conditions, and Jim and I look forward to seeing the work they’re doing with our own eyes,” Tester said.
“This is a chance to meet directly with folks on the ground and see what’s going on. Firsthand perspective like this goes a long way when making good policy back in Washington.”
