| Section 2207 Report on Iraq Relief and Reconstruction -Back to January 2006 report. Released by the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs January 2006 Appendix I SECTOR: Security and Law Enforcement
Continued development of the Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) has enabled the Iraqis to increasingly take the lead in combat operations over the past quarter. The Ministry of Defence (MoD) and the Ministry of Interior (MoI) continue to man, train and equip forces, and develop institutional capability. Over 223,000 military and police personnel are now trained and equipped, with nearly 130 Iraqi Army and police combat battalions engaged in the fight against the insurgency. Of these, approximately 85 battalions are fighting alongside Coalition Forces. Nearly 45 additional battalions have taken the lead in planning and executing operations in their areas of responsibility (AOR), with 33 of those taking the lead in their own AORs. Some coalition support is still necessary for these units, particularly logistics support and other combat enablers. As we continue to help the Iraqis generate their own logistics capabilities and combat enablers, they are making critical strides towards achieving operations totally independent of Coalition Forces. Continued and sustained progress of the ISF is linked to the development of MoD and MoI institutional capability to direct, support and sustain these forces. The Multi-National Security Transition Command- Iraq (MNSTC-I) and the Iraqi Reconstruction Management Office (IRMO) are two of the elements tasked with facilitating the building of ministerial capacity. As of October 1, the IRMO mission to develop the MoD and MoI was transferred to MNSTC-I. The IRMO personnel working with these ministries were placed under the operational control of MNSTC-I, while IRMO retains administrative control. This realignment improves integration and coordination of efforts to ensure key ministerial functions develop commensurate with those of the Iraqi security forces. While substantial progress has been made in generating forces, the MoD and MoI continue to experience challenges with their institutional capability to support fielded forces. These institutional functions, such as administrative processes, programming and budgeting, finance, and life support and sustainment, are critical to ensuring the sustained needs and requirements of the ISF are met. As combat battalions progressively develop and conduct operations independent of partner coalition units, the emphasis on Iraqi combat enablers has grown. Iraqi logistical capabilities that support and sustain Iraqi combat units are critical to the ultimate success and independence of the ISF. During the last quarter, one additional Motorized Transport Regiment (MTR), comprised of 1,928 trained logistics soldiers, non-commissioned officers (NCOs) and commissioned officers, was formed. The MTRs provide mobility and sustainment capabilities to Iraqi Army divisions, reducing dependence of Iraqi forces on coalition support. Ministry of Interior Forces Overview The force structure plan for the MoI is on-track to be completed by mid-2007, and continues to ensure that the Iraqi police forces are tailored to meet the needs of the current operational environment and are oriented to the future beyond the counter-insurgency. As we have helped the Iraqis train, equip and deploy more forces, increased emphasis has been placed on the Ministry’s capacity to support them. In early October, the Civilian Police Assistance Training Team (CPATT) was designated to lead coalition initiatives to develop the capabilities of the MoI. CPATT has realigned its internal organization, with the Police Partnership Program MoI (P3-MoI) team integrating military, International Police Liaison Officers (IPLO), International Police Trainers (IPT), and the former IRMO personnel, into one team focused on developing the Ministry. This team is in the process of conducting a comprehensive assessment of the Ministry that will enable the team to focus their efforts on the minimum essential processes that will allow the MoI to develop into a fully functioning bureaucracy. Border Forces: Increased emphasis has been placed on the development of border forces and Iraq’s capability to secure its borders. The MoI’s Department of Border Enforcement (DBE) has over 17,000 trained and equipped personnel, with an increase of 600 members this quarter. Improved communications equipment was provided to the units along the Syrian border to support extended operations. To support the fielding of this equipment, MNSTC-I deployed communications experts to train the DBE personnel in radio operations and procedures. DBE units continue their cycle of training and deployment to the Syrian border, working closely with the MoD and the Coalition to create a layered security effort to protect the borders of Iraq. This layered effort includes border patrols by the DBE units, Iraqi Army checkpoints and Coalition Forces to create a defense in depth approach to controlling the border. In addition, MNSTC-I and DBE are conducting a training review with the intent to improve the current border guard basic training and leader training. This initiative will result in the start of a new junior officer and NCO leader course in early January 2006. This training will be critical to professionalizing the DBE force. The legal land Ports of Entry (POE) have also received increased focus from joint Iraqi-Coalition teams, with concerted attempts to assess, standardize and implement processes to improve the flow of commerce through Iraq’s borders. Specifically, standard operating procedures for improvements in training, equipping and the manning of POEs are being executed. Coalition Forces in coordination with U.S. Embassy representatives are implementing a strategy to assist the Government of Iraq in establishing a standard organization and specific ministries’ responsibilities at the POEs. This effort will result in more effective POEs that support Iraq’s security and economic priorities. Iraqi Police Service: During this quarter, 9,066 recruits completed the Basic Police Academy program and 344 recruits graduated from the three-week Transition Integration Program (TIP). The TIP course is for members of the police hired under the former regime; these individuals receive a course that not only provides a skills refresher, but includes considerable human rights and rule-of-law instruction. New recruit basic police training, which is ten weeks long, and annual refresher courses also emphasize human rights standards and policies, as well as rule of law training. As of December 29th, over 75,000 serving police will have been trained and equipped, having attended either basic police or TIP training. Development of Iraqi Police instructors is one of the key steps being taken to establish Iraqi leadership of the police training mission. Recruitment efforts have continued this quarter, with the MoI approving the hiring of 15,000 new policemen. The MoI increasingly focuses on leadership development of its officers and non-commissioned officers. In partnership with the MoI, CPATT began planning the training curriculum that is forming the foundation of the professional leadership development program. The program trains and mentors current and future Iraqi leaders to support and promote moral character, human rights and integrity in service to the Iraqi people. The six-month Police Officer Academy program, for senior serving policemen with higher education, began in October with 285 students. The nine-month Police Officer Academy program, for currently serving policemen began in December with 300 cadets. The three year Police Officer Academy curriculum, with projected enrollment of 1,000 cadets without previous police experience, will begin in the first half of 2006. Special Police Units continue to conduct counter-insurgency (COIN) operations in Baghdad, Ramadi, Samarra, Mosul and Salman Pak. The Special Police Transition Teams (SPTTs) continue to mentor and monitor the leadership of these special police units in the planning and execution of operations. These teams provide critical mentorship and expertise, while also emphasizing the importance of human rights and the rule of law. The MoI also planned, coordinated and led a major operation in Baqubah. Additionally, two battalions of the mechanized police brigade are currently conducting operations in Baghdad, helping to secure Route Irish, the route between the International Zone and Baghdad International Airport. The Emergency Response Unit (ERU), a highly trained hostage rescue unit, now has over 400 operators. Over the last quarter, the ERU has conducted successful operations almost every other night in Baghdad. All Special Police elements supported the December 15 election by providing security at key polling sites. Fingerprint Identification System: The Automated Fingerprint Identification System (AFIS) was transferred from the U.S. and has been installed in Baghdad. MoI personnel who have completed the advanced fingerprinting training program are certified to operate the AFIS. Fingerprints of existing policemen and police applicants are compared to the Iraqi criminal fingerprint database, as part of the screening and vetting process. If a finger print match is identified, the information is provided to the MOI Inspector General’s office for appropriate action. Ministerial Capacity: The expansion of the Police Partnership Program (P3) MoI Team to incorporate IRMO elements has resulted in a more capable organization. Increased contact time between Iraqi officials and Coalition partners facilitates valuable coordination and synchronization of efforts between Coalition and Iraqi leadership. The Minister of Interior approved the recent formation of a Strategic Planning Group, comprised of Iraqi and Coalition members. The P3 MoI Team has also facilitated several regular meetings between MoI departments, improving hitherto poor internal coordination. The new organization maximizes coalition efforts, while still continuing programs and existing forums for valuable exchanges, such as quarterly budget conferences and monthly meetings of the Provincial Chiefs of Police. Ministry of Defence Forces Overview Ministry of Defence (MoD) forces include the Iraqi Army (IA), Iraqi Special Operations Forces (ISOF), Strategic Infrastructure Battalions (SIBs), the Navy, Marines, and the Air Force. Partnership with Coalition units has continued to enable significant progress in the development of MoD forces. Iraqi divisions continue to evolve in capability as relationships between Iraqi and Coalition forces are strengthened. Nearly 100 combat battalions of the IA are conducting aggressive COIN operations. Many of these operations are independent except for logistical and other combat-enabling support provided by the Coalition. However, MNF-I is generating a growing number of combat support and combat service support (CS/CSS) units that will provide MOD forces with tactical and operational logistic capabilities. The MoD continues to generate front-line combat forces to meet MoD’s end state force generation plan of nine light infantry division and one armored division. The 7th Division (comprised of approximately 7,583 personnel) is on track for completion of training by early 2006. The 3rd Brigade, 7th Division has commenced its initial training and is on schedule to become operational in late January 2006. The 7th Division Headquarters, including its combat support and service support companies, is now forming. The 9th Division Headquarters is also forming its CS/CSS companies. The 9th Division’s Military Police Company will be that division’s first combat support company to form and undergo training. The 2nd Brigade of the 9th Division (Mechanized) completed its initial training and has returned to conduct collective training after supporting the December 15th election. This Brigade is armor-heavy, with two tank battalions and one mechanized battalion. The mechanized battalion is equipped with 36 BMP-1 armored personnel carriers donated by Greece. The two tank battalions are equipped with 77 T-72 tanks donated by Hungary, which were received in early November along with the BMPs. With the assistance of the NATO Training Mission-Iraq (NTM-I), we are helping the Iraqi Armed Forces develop a professional development training structure through the creation of an Iraqi Training and Doctrine Command. This Command is responsible for the oversight of training Officer and NCO professional development and the writing of doctrine. NTM-I and MNSTC-I are working together to build each of these capacities. In late September, 88 Iraqi officers began courses at the newly opened Junior and Senior Staff Colleges. Infrastructure Security: Five SIBs have completed basic training and are now conducting security operations. These units are focused on securing a portion of oil pipelines critical to the domestic and export industry and electricity transmission lines. MNSTC-I provided mission-essential equipment to the SIBs, such as AK-47s, vehicles, communications equipment, Individual Body Armor (IBA), helmets and uniforms. A train-the-trainer model was utilized to develop the Iraqi capability to internally train the SIBs. Logistics Support: The National Maintenance Contract (NMC) has provided some organizational and intermediate maintenance capability to the IAF during the last quarter. The present contract is designed to allow the continuation of this capability as a uniformed tactical level maintenance capability is trained and equipped to take over these roles. In addition, the NMC is to provide a depot maintenance capability with regards to armored vehicles, weapons, and communications gear during the course of 2006. The present contract ends March 2007. At this stage the NMC is not being viewed as the permanent solution to the maintenance needs of the IAF. The possibility exists however that the NMC may be requested to continue depot operations at Tadji by the MOD extending the contract. Over the past quarter, we have helped the Iraqis build comprehensive lines of logistical support. This structure, when complete, will consist of a national-level depot (already operating), regional support units that provide maintenance and supply support to nearby units, Motorized Transport Regiments (MTRs), and Headquarters and Services Companies (HSCs) that will be in every combat battalion. Operational units are currently conducting logistical support missions and providing critical capabilities as they move personnel and materiel in support of the Coalition Corps Support Command (COSCOM). The fourth MTR is currently being raised and will become operationally effective in 2006. Leadership Training: In order to meet the Iraqi Army’s need for professionally trained junior leaders, a system of Regional Training Centers (RTCs) has been established. These six centers expand the Iraqi training structure’s capacity, allowing for more students to attend the Squad and Platoon Sergeant Courses that focus on developing the leadership capabilities of NCOs and the development of a professional NCO Corps. Beginning in January, a Sergeants Major Course and Chief Warrant Officer Course will be added to the NCO Professional Education System. The Iraqi Military Academies will conduct special training for former Army officers throughout the next quarter, while still conducting the year-long Basic Officer Commissioning Course (BOCC). The Former Officer Course (FOC) training will focus on human rights, ethics and COIN operations. The Iraqi Military Academy at Ar Rustamiyah (IMAR) graduated 180 cadets in December, while the Iraqi Military Academy at Zahko started training 103 students in the 90-day course designed for former cadets that were enrolled at the Iraqi Military Academy prior to the start of the war. Air Force: The training of Iraqi C-130 crews at Ali Base (Talil) has successfully produced 28 basic air-land qualified aircrew personnel and the first complete mission-ready Iraqi crew. During the training program, Iraqi C-130s have successfully supported coalition counter-insurgency operations in the North and West of Iraq. They have also flown humanitarian missions, provided a distinguished visitor transport capability and supported the October referendum and December election through the movement of officials, ballots and referendum workers. Navy and Naval Infantry Operations: The Iraqi Navy’s (IqN’s) training programs and operational capabilities continue to grow at a steady pace. The Iraqi Navy and Marines, in coordination with Coalition maritime forces, continue to conduct maneuvers to provide offshore oil platform security as well as anti-smuggler, anti-terrorist and anti-piracy operations within Iraqi territorial waters. Operators of the five Predator Class patrol boats have completed challenging assessments and continue to be re-validated for operations through recurring Sector Guardian exercises. The Iraqi Marines (IqM) assumed point defense duties (under Coalition supervision) on Kwar Al Amaya Oil Terminal and Al Basrah Oil Terminal in December. Recent promotions throughout the service (the first since its inception) are an important step in further organizational maturation. As the Iraqi Navy continues to mature at both the operational and strategic levels, its ability to conduct planned operations with coalition partners has suffered as a consequence of the MoD’s inability to provide sufficient levels of logistics support. This inability is complicated by in an inefficient national fuel distribution system and an inadequate benzene allocation which threaten current operational capability. Delays and disappointments in the Iraqi MOD acquisition chain stand as the major obstacle facing the IqN. The Al Faw Patrol Boats are already delayed three months and will likely be delayed further in addition to identified design flaws. The contract to acquire two OSVs remains stalled in IMOD Acquisitions. The IqN leadership plans to expand its numbers (both IqN and IqM) in 2006, yet there is no apparent infrastructure development plan. Current barracks accommodations house more than double the intended number of occupants. LAW ENFORCEMENT Police Training and Technical Assistance
