Appendix I -- Sectoral Descriptions

SECTOR: Security and Law Enforcement

The period covered in this report (October 1, 2006 to December 31, 2006) saw incremental progress in the Government of Iraq's willingness and ability to take over responsibility, to build institutions and to deliver essential services. This progress is notable given the escalating violence in some of Iraq's more populous regions and the tragic loss of civilian life at the hands of terrorists and other extremists. The Government of Iraq has identified future security requirements and is working both independently and with the United States, to program additional security resources. One of the most significant shortcomings in both the MOD and MOI forces capabilities is in planning and executing their logistics and sustainment requirements. Iraqi Security forces rely heavily on U.S forces for logistics and sustainment and other critical enablers. As of the end of December 2006, approximately 323,000 personnel have now been trained and equipped for service in the military and police sectors. With the exception of MOD support forces, the United States and its Coalition partners have met the initial force generation targets while continuing the efforts to improve the Iraqi Security Forces capability to meet emergent requirements. The actual number of Iraqi soldiers and police present for duty at any one time is significantly lower due to scheduled leave, absence without leave and attrition.

Ministry of Interior Forces Overview

Ministry of Interior (MOI) forces consist of the Iraqi Police Service, National Police, the Department of Border Enforcement, Department of Ports of Entry and the Center for Dignitary Protection. Civilian Police Assistance Training Team (CPATT), a Major Subordinate Command (MSC) of MNSTC-I, continues to train, mentor, equip and professionalize the Iraqi police forces. As of December 25, 2006, the Coalition had trained 188,300 MOI security forces, fulfilling its authorized training goal. This is the number of personnel who have successfully completed the various MNSTC-I training programs, not the present-for-duty number. There has been substantial absenteeism and attrition; and, police, who have not been trained by MNSTC-I, have been hired at the provincial level, which complicates assessing the actual present-for-duty number.

Iraqi Police Service: The Iraqi Police Service is composed of patrol, traffic, station and highway police assigned throughout Iraq's 18 provinces. Its mission is to enforce the law, safeguard the public and provide internal security at the local level. The Iraqi Police Service constitutes the majority of MOI security forces. CPATT has completed its objective of training and equipping 135,000 Iraqi Police Service personnel. Continuing efforts are being made to increase the training capacity of the Iraqi Police Service in order to replace personnel lost to attrition. In addition, 3,900 MoI personnel have been trained in forensics, of a goal of 4,000 personnel being trained.

Border Forces: The Department of Border Enforcement (DBE) and the Department of Ports of Entry (POE) are collectively charged with controlling and protecting Iraq's borders. The DBE is organized into five regions, twelve brigades and 38 battalions and includes forces that man 405 border structures, of which the Coalition has funded 258. CPATT has completed its objective of training and equipping 28,400 DBE personnel. CPATT is continuing to train DBE Personnel to replace personnel lost to attrition.

National Police: The National Police (NP) allows the Minister of Interior to project security capabilities across provinces. The National Police also is charged with maintaining law and order while an effective community police force is developed. The National Police continue to improve their abilities as a national, rapid-response force capable of countering armed insurgency. These security forces provide support to local civil security forces and operate as a "bridging" force between Iraqi Army and regular Provincial/Iraqi Police. CPATT has completed its objective training and equipping of 24,000 National Police. CPATT is continuing to train National Police to replace personnel lost to attrition. The National Police are currently undergoing a four-phase extended training program to increase the professionalism of the force and to gain the confidence of the public.

Ministry of Defense Forces Overview

The Iraqi Ministry of Defense (MOD) forces consists of the Joint Headquarters (JHQ), the Iraqi Army (IA), the Iraqi Special Operations Forces (ISOF), the Army, the Air Force and the Navy (including Marines). The total number of trained MOD military personnel is 134,700, which is 98% of its authorized strength, of which approximately 131,200 are Iraqi Army and Special Operating Forces. Coalition Military Assistance Training Team (CMATT), a Major Subordinate Command (MSC) of MNSTC-I, continues to train, mentor, equip and professionalize the military components of the Iraqi MOD.

Iraqi Army: The Iraqi Army is a component of the Iraqi Security Forces tasked with assuming responsibility for all Iraqi land-based military operations. The Iraqi Army is trained to provide internal security. The original force generation plan will train and equip a total of approximately 125,000 soldiers and officers in 36 brigades and 112 battalions. However, Prime Minister Maliki has recently introduced a new initiative to increase the strength of counterinsurgency units by 10% and train an additional 19,000 soldiers to stand up twenty new battalions. These increases should help offset attrition, absent without leave, scheduled leaves and other counterinsurgency requirements.

Iraqi Special Operations Forces: The ISOF Brigade is the operational component of the Iraqi Counter-Terrorism Command, and approximately 1,500 soldiers have been initially trained and equipped. ISOF consists of a counterterrorism battalion, a commando battalion, a support battalion and a special reconnaissance unit. The ISOF is a key component of the Iraqi security forces as Iraq develops more effective counter-terrorism capabilities.

Air Force: The Iraqi Air Force is making measurable progress toward supporting the counterinsurgency mission. As of the end of December 2006, approximately 900 Air Force personnel have been trained and equipped.

Navy and Marine Operations: TheIraqi Navy and Marines (IqN/M), in conjunction with Coalition maritime forces, conduct offshore oil platform security, anti-smuggling, anti-terrorist and anti-piracy operations in the Northern Arabian Gulf. As of the end of December 2006, approximately 1,100 personnel have been trained and equipped for the Iraqi Navy and Marines. In 2006, the Iraqi Navy placed procurement contracts for two Offshore Support Vessels, four Patrol Ships and three additional Patrol Boats as part of their future force structure. Additionally, the MOD recently awarded a contract to build the naval base infrastructure and has a plan in place to award the follow-on plan in early 2007. The next major hurdle for the Iraqi Navy is logistical support for their base and maintenance efforts. The lack of timely parts procurement has increased the difficulty of maintaining their fleet of vessels and has reduced the operational readiness of the fleet. The key to transition for the Iraqi Navy and Marines will be their ability to expand operations as their acquisition processes and logistic capabilities mature.

The Iraqi WMD Expertise Redirection Program's goal is to redirect Iraqi scientists, technicians and engineers with weapons of mass destruction (WMD) and missile expertise to sustainable civilian employment in support of national reconstruction. This is accomplished through job placements, providing career transition assistance in the form of workshops, seminars and collaboration with western counterparts, paying monthly stipends to approximately 120 key Iraqi weapons development personnel and funding Iraqi scientists', technicians' and engineers' science-based reconstruction projects. The Export and Border Security Control program's overall goal is to combat the proliferation of WMD, associated delivery systems, conventional weapons and related goods and technologies. The Nuclear Facility Dismantlement Project provides advice and guidance from U.S. government experts and other support to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) coordinated international program to help Iraq dismantle the former regime's nuclear facilities. The yellowcake project provides assistance to Iraq in meeting its IAEA safeguards obligations related to its nuclear material and to facilitate the eventual sale of the yellowcake and its removal from the country.
