Appendix I

SECTOR: Security and Law Enforcement

In the last quarter, Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) continued to make progress. They shoulder more responsibility for Iraq’s security, and have stood firm in the face of numerous attacks in recent months. Iraqi Security Forces are leading more operations, and are beginning to operate more independently, while continuing to train and equip new military and police forces. The ITG expects to complete building their planned force structure in 2006.

Improvements in ISF capabilities can be seen in Operation Lightning that began in late May and involved about 40,000 ISF personnel with Coalition Forces in Baghdad. With ISF performing a key role, this operation had a significant effect on enemy activity. In Operation Lightening, the ISF displayed its ability to conduct independent coordinated Ministry of Defence (MoD)/Ministry of Interior (MoI) operations for the first time without assistance from Multi-National Force, Iraq (MNF-I). Here, MoD and MoI were working together better than ever before. From coordinated ground operations to combined press conferences, we see definite improvements. During Operation Lightening, Iraqi citizens regularly provided information to the ISF. In one area of Baghdad alone, tips provided to the ISF resulted in the detention of 108 suspected insurgents. This was the largest combined operation with ISF to date, and the ISF proved effective in executing their assigned missions.

Increasingly, Iraq is training its own forces. The number of Iraqi instructors at the Police Academies in Baghdad and Jordan has increased significantly, with over 180 Iraqi instructors integrated into the Academies in recent months. During this last quarter, the MoI trained, equipped, and deployed the 3rd and 4th Public Order Brigades, and raised and equipped the 4th Police Commando Brigade.

The Iraqi Army now has three Iraqi Training Battalions fully staffed and led with Iraqi instructors and leadership. The Iraqi Army is also developing Iraqi-led mobile training teams for the conduct of basic training to help generate the 7th Division and for the conduct of non-commissioned officer training. The MoD has started the process to raise and equip the 7th Army Division, which will be based in Al Anbar Province by early 2006. The first Brigade of the Army’s Mechanized Division has completed fielding its first mechanized battalion and first tank battalion as well. Both of these units are now conducting security operations in conjunction with Coalition forces. As of June, on any given day, the ISF was conducting an average of 5 independent operations and 30 operations in cooperation with MNF-I. This is a major improvement over six months ago.

While these successes show promise for the ISF, events in the last quarter highlighted where continuing challenges remain, specifically in the area of ISF logistics and command and control, and in ministry capacity to sustain forces. Initiatives are now under way to address these shortcomings. The MoD, with the help of the Multi National Security Transition Command-Iraq (MNSTC-I), has started to generate an organic logistical capability at the battalion level with a focus on transportation, medical, maintenance, and supply elements. The third of nine planned Motorized Transport Regiments (battalions) has nearly completed its training. When the transportation regiments are all fielded, there will be one per Iraqi Army division, adding considerable mobility and sustainment capability to each division. The first two battalions are already conducting operations on a daily basis, relieving some pressure on Coalition forces. The MoD has also started to take complete control of its base support units, also relieving pressure on Coalition logistical requirements. Iraqis are now meeting almost all requirements at three bases with more scheduled for transition later this year.

Iraq’s military and police leadership, with the assistance of Multi-National Force-Iraq (MNF-I), has taken steps to improve coordination and planning for Iraqi-led operations. Several new national-level military and police planning groups have been established, and the Iraqi Army has established an operational headquarters co-located with Multi-National Corps - Iraq (MNC-I). All of these measures are improving Iraqi coordination and planning capabilities.

As part of the FY 2005 Supplemental signed by the President in May, $5.391 billion is earmarked for the Iraq Security Forces Fund. This Fund will provide the resources for necessary equipment, supplies, services, training, and facility repair and construction for Iraqi Security Forces. This funding will be used to augment current frontline security and police forces, develop support capabilities, and enhance institutional training capabilities.

With continued assistance, the Iraqi Army will increasingly be able to conduct independent counterinsurgency operations, and the Iraqi police will gain the capability to operate in a counterinsurgency environment. Building this Iraqi security capability is an essential element in the overall strategy of transition of greater responsibility for security tasks to Iraqi forces.

Ministry of Interior Forces Summary

Police training capacity continues to increase - this quarter 10,624 recruits complete the eight-week Academy program, and 276 recruits graduated from the three-week Transition Integration Program (TIP). As of June 4, 35,324 recruits have been trained in Academy programs, and 35,802 have been trained under the TIP. Sixty members of the Iraqi Police completed the train-the-trainer course at the Baghdad Police College. The MoI has shifted emphasis to send existing police officers with no prior training to the eight-week basic class, while new police candidates will continue to be recruited in areas where police forces are being reconstituted.

Sustainment and Integration training programs were introduced to the curriculum during the quarter. Sustainment training consists of three days of intense instruction focused on weapons qualification and policing skills for trained police already serving on the force. The two-week Integration training program augments the eight-week Academy program and emphasizes combat survival and police skills while building teamwork and unit cohesiveness. The program includes station defense, survival skills, and additional weapons training.

Special Police Forces continue to develop their capabilities. The 3rd Public Order Brigade and 4th Public Order Brigade were trained, equipped and deployed during the period of this report, and the 4th Police Commando Brigade was trained and equipped as well. Special Police units continue to successfully conduct counter-insurgency operations in Baghdad, Fallujah, Samarra, and Mosul. In addition, two battalions of a new mechanized police brigade, consisting of wheeled and armored vehicles, are currently conducting operations in Baghdad helping to secure the route to Baghdad International Airport. The Emergency Response Unit (ERU-a highly trained hostage rescue unit) now has over 200 operators, and over the last quarter, has conducted successful operations in Baghdad, Fallujah, and Mosul. Finally, the Iraq Special Border Force continues to conduct operations in Al Anbar Province.

The MoI’s Qualifying Committee (QC) continues its data collection efforts, which support the separation of unqualified Iraqi Police. To date, the QC has collected 113,823 police profiles, and is expected to complete initial collection in 13 of the 18 provinces soon. In addition, production of a new identification card and collection of biometric data from all MoI employees is under way. Iraqi Police Service (IPS) Identification Card began in early March, and over 8,500 cards have been produced to date. Profiles collected by the QC will be linked to human resources and pay, increasing efficiency, adding credibility to the employee vetting process, and facilitating better financial accountability. Efforts to identify officers for separation continue. Initial recommendations for employee separation will be based upon those who did not provide biometric data, and those who are medically unqualified. Additional police officer evaluations will focus more keenly on whether the officers meet established standards of literacy, training, physical fitness, and job performance. Planning for collection efforts in Anbar and Ninawa Provinces is proceeding. Data collection teams started deploying into these provinces in July, and collections are underway at MoI headquarters in Baghdad.

Coalition Special Police Transition Teams (SPTTs) completed training in Kuwait and Taji, Iraq in April. Twenty-three teams then deployed to assist their counterpart Iraqi Special Police Units. The teams’ focus is to mentor and train the Iraqi units while providing access to Coalition capabilities and facilitating planning and coordination between Iraqi and Coalition units at the operational level. Two additional SPTTs deployed in mid-May with another two teams deploying in mid-June. To date the SPTTs have setup working sites at their respective bases and established positive working relationships with both the local Coalition unit and their counterpart Iraqi Special Police Unit. Over 200 independent and coordinated operations are conducted each month. Joint operations with Coalition forces were conducted in June during Operation Al Barkh (Lightning) in Multi-National Division, Baghdad (MND-B) and Operation Veteran’s Forward in Multi-National Division, North West (MND-NW), as well as in Fallujah, Ramadi, Samarra, and Salman Pak.

In the next quarter, counterinsurgency operations will continue at a high intensity. For the Special Police, there will be closer ties for planning and coordination of MoI operations with both the MoD and with Coalition Forces. Special Police units will lead the efforts in more of these operations with Coalition forces providing necessary backup. At the unit level, focus will be on leadership development for the Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO) ranks, logistics system development and implementation and individual policeman training proficiency.

Ministry of Defence Forces Summary

Since the last report the Iraqi Regular Army, Intervention Forces and the Iraq National Guard (ING) have merged into the Iraqi Armed Forces (IAF) and partnered with Coalition units. Through this ongoing transition initiative, all divisions will continue to evolve in capability as relationships between Iraqi and Coalition forces are strengthened through partnering. Division structure will also become standardized throughout the IAF thus helping to bring all units to the same level of capability. The IAF continues to successfully conduct aggressive counterinsurgency operations with and in conjunction with Coalition forces. The ability to conduct independent operations at lower echelons has been steadily improved.

The MoD continues to generate additional military forces. The 7th Division is projected to be trained by the early part of 2006. The first brigade of the Mechanized Division now has its first mechanized battalion and first tank battalion. The remaining mechanized battalion in the first brigade will become fully operational in July. The Mechanized Division’s second mechanized brigade will begin to form in July.

The 1st Engineer Training Battalion formed in Taji in February. Eighty-five officers and soldiers attended two months of engineer training sponsored by Germany in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) The Bomb Disposal Training School is now fully operational, with three 65-soldier units currently in training. The school is currently scheduled to train 10 companies over a one-year period.

Two Iraqi Motor Transport Regiments (MTRs) are conducting logistical support missions and are making an impact on a daily basis as they move personnel and materiel in support of the Corps Support Command. The third MTR will have initial operational capability by mid-July and will subsequently commence multi-echelon combat service support training. By December, MNSTC-I anticipates that the Iraqi Army will have four operational MTRs that will be fully manned and equipped.

Iraqi and Coalition planners have received approval to generate four Strategic Infrastructure Battalions, whose mission will be to protect Iraq’s critical linear infrastructure, including the oil pipelines and associated production facilities, and electrical transmission lines and nodes. At present, MNC-I and the ITG are finalizing plans to execute the training and equipping of these battalions.

Phase one of the Defense Private Network (DPN) network is complete, and provides cellular serve to 13 IAFDPN. Phase two will expand this service to four additional bases. The expansion will provide voice service to all Army divisions, all Air Force squadrons, the Army, Navy and Air Force headquarters, and the Ministry of Defence. The system can be a key building block for the Iraqi Defense Network (IDN), which will provide data capability. These initiatives are expected to provide a robust strategic network, with voice and data capability, as well as much-needed interoperability with Coalition forces.

As manning and equipping of the Iraqi Army continues to mature, so does their logistical sustainment capability. Training for supervisors in Combat Support and Combat Service Support units has started at Taji. The Iraqi Service and Supply Institute is training officers and NCOs from all ten Iraqi Army Divisions in the specialty skills related to the transportation, ordinance, and quartermaster. In addition, this quarter, two officer basic schools graduated and inducted into the Iraqi Army 97 cadet graduates from the Zakho Military Academy and 107 cadet graduates from the Qualachulon Military Academy.

The primary leadership development for NCOs in the Iraqi Army has begun at three locations. Referred to as the Squad Leader Course this school teaches basic Sergeant and Leadership skills to new and existing Iraqi Sergeants. Basic training requirements for the growing Iraqi military require expansion of the Iraqi Training Battalion into two geographic locations enabling Iraqi forces to expand properly, and this growth will continue in the months ahead.

A significant element in the Coalition transition effort has been the turn over of Iraqi bases to Iraqi control. Umm Qasr was the first Base Support Unit (BSU) transitioned to the Ministry of Defence on March 17, followed by An Numaniyah on May 5 and Kirkush on June 1. The Coalition continues to monitor the performance of life support assumed by the Iraqis, and will continue to transition BSUs at a sustainable pace throughout the next quarter.

The Iraqi Navy and the Iraqi Marine Regiment continue to conduct offshore oil platform security operations, in coordination with Coalition maritime forces. All five patrol boats have completed challenging operational assessments and have been validated for operations. Additional marine forces currently in training will bring the Regiment to over 100% strength of 351 by July.
