| Section 2207 Report on Iraq Relief and Reconstruction -Back to July 2006 report. Released by the Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs July 2006 Appendix I SECTOR: Security and Law Enforcement
The Ministry of Defense (MoD) and the Ministry of Interior (MoI) have assumed greater responsibility for security operations since the April 2207. Military and Police operations conducted by independent Iraqi forces are becoming an effective reality. More than 268,400 military and police personnel have now been trained and equipped, with an additional 52,000 due by September 30. As of June 26, 114 Iraqi Army, Special Operations and Strategic Infrastructure Battalions and 28 police battalions conduct counter-insurgency operations. Eighty-one Iraqi Army and Special Operations battalions are capable of operating "in the lead" or independently. Sixty nine Iraqi Army battalions and two police battalions control their own areas of responsibility. The MoD has accepted the lead in contracting basic logistical sustainment efforts (life support) for the various military installations throughout Iraq.
Significant advances have been made in the area of institutional training by both the MoI and MoD. The MoI 2006 Training Plan establishes a common training standard throughout the Iraqi Police Service (IPS) and places great emphasis on human rights, ethics and the rule of law. Based on current plans, the IPS’s nine police academies and the National Police and Department of Border Enforcement academies will transfer to Iraqi control by the end of the year. The development of professional ethics (the United Nations code of Conduct for Law Enforcement Officials) is included in the basic training syllabus for Iraq’s police forces. This is considered essential for a relationship between ethical behavior and effective police service. The Center for Professional Ethics and Leadership will be established by the end of 2006.
The MoD is also taking greater responsibility for training and developing its forces. Force Structure and policies are being developed and defined to meet the training needs of the Iraqi Armed Forces (IAF) out to 2011. The development of the Iraqi Training Doctrine Command (ITDC) development continues to move forward. The goal is to have the ITDC fully established by January 1, 2007. Many of the IAF’s training battalions, regional training centers and specialist schools are well established and operating with minimal Coalition training support. The Iraqi Center for Military Values and Principles and Leadership (ICMVPL) was established in February. The ICMVPL will ensure that the IAF conforms to the values and standards of basic human rights and the laws. To date it has designed a program of instruction (POI) which will ensure that the subject is included in all institutional, individual and collective training.
Ministry of Interior Forces Overview The Ministry of Interior (MoI) has approximately 152,300 trained and equipped personnel. Its civil security force structure objective is 188,200 by the end of 2006. This force structure plan will generate Iraqi police forces capable in the current counterinsurgency (COIN) environment, as well as orient the MoI for the future. MoI forces consist of the Iraqi Police Service, including the former Iraqi Highway Patrol, National Police (formerly Special Police, comprised of the Police Commandos, the Public Order Police and the Mechanized Brigade), Emergency Response Unit, the Department of Border Enforcement and the Center for Dignitary Protection. The Civilian Police Assistance Training Team (CPATT) continues to train, equip and professionalize the Iraqi police forces. CPATT’s MoI Transition Team (MoI-TT) has 78 personnel. CPATT continues to concentrate on the development of MoI’s capability to support and direct its forces. Iraqi Police Service: During the "Year of the Police," concerted efforts are being made to increase the training capacity of the Iraqi Police Forces. To date, over 107,000 police have been trained and equipped and more than 9,500 recruits completed a ten-week Basic Police Academy program during this quarter. Additionally, nearly 600 recruits graduated from the Transition Integration Program (TIP.). This three-week course is designed as a refresher and provides rule of law training to former regime police that have been rehired. To establish Iraqi ownership, increased emphasis has been placed on developing Iraqi Police instructors; the Iraqi Police instructor cadre reached 80% of the goal of 981. Over 680 Iraqi instructors are currently teaching in the basic police program. During late May, there were over 7,300 recruits in training. We continue to focus on leadership and professional development of the police force. The Baghdad Police College’s six-month Police Officers’ Academy graduated 285 new police lieutenants on March 30. 336 new Police lieutenants are enrolled in the nine month course, which started April 16. A three-year college is expected to commence in October with up to 1,000 new officer candidates. A "Sergeants to Officer" course started with 100 students which graduated March 30. The second course began in April. All academy recruiting responsibilities have transitioned to the MOI. The Iraqi Police Academies are on track to transition to MoI responsibility by year end. Border Forces: During this quarter, the Department of Border Enforcement (DBE) continues to show progress towards Iraqi control of the borders. The DBE has over 21,500 trained and equipped personnel. These forces are organized into five regions, 12 brigades and 38 battalions. Progress in construction of border forts has significantly improved Iraqi coverage of the borders. We will continue to place emphasis on the development of Iraq’s operational capability to secure its own borders. The building of the DBE communication architecture is progressing and on track to be completed by August. Tactical integration is beginning to pay dividends by achieving layered security on the Syrian Border. The junior officer and non-commissioned officer’s "Train the Trainer" course was completed with 9 students graduating. These students will teach this course at the three regional training academies. The DBE has partnered with twenty-six eleven-person Coalition teams to facilitate the transition from Coalition to Iraqi control of the borders. National Police: Approximately 22,000 National Police (formerly Special Police) have been trained and equipped, and continue to improve their abilities as a national, rapid-response force capable of countering armed insurgency, providing support to local civil security forces and operating as a "bridging" force between Iraqi Army and regular Provincial/Iraqi Police. The 1st and 2nd National Police (NP) Divisions (formerly the Command and Public Order Division) have standardized personnel and equipment authorizations and are working to standardize their Mission Essential Tasks (MET) to focus on civil support operations. The NP Divisions have reached their authorized number of 2,000 personneland they continue to train, equip and deploy police forces to fill existing units. The MoI plans to merge the 1st Mechanized Brigade into the 1st and 2nd NP Divisions. This merger will enhance the National Police’s mobility and survivability when manning checkpoints or conducting patrols. Professional development and leadership have been emphasized through a senior leadership seminar. This ten-course program is centered around Iraqi law, democratic policing techniques and the National Police Leadership Academy program of instruction. Over 160 sergeants and junior officers graduated courses at the Academy this quarter. Diversity of the National Police continues to improve with over 1,100 non-Shia graduating from the basic course. Ministerial Capacity: The MoI continues to move forward in developing plans and policies that will support mission success in the future. The Minister signed and published a Strategic Vision document for the ministry. Deputy Ministers have been directed to prepare 5-year plans. These plans will assist MoI in instituting a professional development system that trains and mentors current and future generations of Iraqi leaders to support and promote moral character and integrity in service to the Iraqi people. The Ministry recently updated its police recruiting and hiring directive to ensure that current hiring practices and policies are conducted fairly. The finance office is developing and working with the International Monetary Fund’s application of the Financial Management Information System (FMIS). Direct vertical and lateral communication among the Minister and Deputies has improved. Cooperation with other ministries is improving, particularly with the Ministry of Construction and Housing and the Ministry of Finance.
Ministry of Defense Forces Overview
Ministry of Defense (MoD) forces currently include over 116,100 personnel serving in the Iraqi Army (IA), Iraqi Special Operations Forces (ISOF), Strategic Infrastructure Battalions (SIBs), Navy, Marines and Air Force. One hundred-six Iraqi Army and Special Operations battalions are now conducting counter-insurgency operations with 81 battalions assessed as capable of operating "in the lead" or independently. Sixty-nine MoD battalions control their own areas of responsibility. Combat support and combat service support (CS/CSS) units continue to be generated to provide critical combat enablers; there are eight CS/CSS and three training units currently operational and supporting Iraqi combat troops with another five expected to be operational within the next four months. SIBs remain focused on securing critical oil and electricity infrastructure. They continue to be supplied and trained according to a phased plan. There are currently eight operational SIBs.
Logistics Support: This quarter has witnessed significant moves in transitioning capability to the Iraqi Armed Forces (IAF). During May the Iraqi Ministry of Defense (MoD) issued life support contracts for over 40 locations. The Coalition is providing assistance in managing their implementation.
During June, five regional support units (RSUs) had their supply and maintenance sustainability significantly improved by the arrival of trained IAF supply and maintenancepersonnel, who, with Coalition training team support, will commence the process of transitioning the RSUs to IAF control. This process commenced at An Numaniyah in early June, the success of this RSU, will form a test-case for transition of the remaining four RSUs. A total of four Motor Transport Regiments (MTRs) have transitioned to Corps control and have commenced operational missions and supply sustainability exercises. The remainingfive MTRs are undergoing force generation and are expected to be operational by second half of 2006. In July, the national maintenance contractor will commence operations from the Taji National Depot (TND) class IX warehouse. This USG-funded contract will provide the IAF an elemental 4th line transportation capability. A system of Regional Training Centers (RTCs) and the Non-Commissioned Officer Academy focus on junior leader development. The newly piloted Sergeants Major Course and Chief Warrant Officer Course have been added to the NCO Professional Education System. Three Iraqi Military Academies at Zakho, Qualachulon and ar-Rustimiyah are conducting officer training. The one-month Former Officer Course (FOC) continues to emphasize human rights, ethics and COIN operations. 1,032 personnel are anticipated to complete the FOC program this reporting period with another 420 in the next reporting period. Progress continues on the development of an Iraqi Armed Forces Center for Ethics and Leadership.
Air Force: The Iraqi Air Force (IqAF) has approximately 600 trained and equipped personnel staffing six squadrons: two helicopter battlefield mobility squadrons, two air surveillance squadrons, one helicopter refresher training squadron and one air transport. Since the last report, the 23rd Transport Squadron’s three C-130E aircraft completed their isochronal (major inspection on the aircraft-expensive and intensive) inspections at Abu Dhabi and are moving troops and equipment regularly. The 16 Hueys are currently being upgraded to Huey II’s on the ARINC contract in Ozark, Alabama and should be back in country by January 2007. Six CH-2000s are fully operational and flying daily missions from Kirkuk Air Base. The Iraqis are beginning to train on the Mi-17 helicopter. In addition, the Iraqi Air Force identified its top 5 proposed candidate suppliers for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft, and is expected to make a choice of the ISR platform this quarter.
Navy and Marine Operations: Iraqi Navy and Marines (IqN/M), in conjunction with Coalition maritime forces, conduct offshore oil platform security, anti-smuggler, anti-terrorist and anti-piracy operations in the Northern Arabian Gulf (NAG). IqN/M manpower is approximately 800 personnel with expected growth to 1,100 by the end of Fiscal Year 2006. Two boat squadrons are currently operational; however maintaining these squadrons’ mission capable status remains problematic. Engineering obstacles continue to delay delivery of three new patrol boats now under construction and governmental acquisition procedures delay the contracting of two offshore support vessels. The Italian government plans to contribute six assault boats, and the Iraqi Navy seeks to contract the construction of four patrol ships by an Italian company. Poor infrastructure development at the IqN base continues to be a problem. Without improvements to ship maintenance, acquisition and infrastructure development, Coalition naval forces will be required to guard the Iraqi oil terminals in the NAG for the foreseeable future.

Changes from the April Report: This report reflects a previous notification to Congress of the Administration’s intent to decrease this project code by $29.0 million. The decrease is a result of a decision to cancel construction of the National Fire and Civil Defense Academy due to delays in design and contract award and to reallocate funds to Nationwide Hospital and Clinic Improvements (PC 90000) to support the completion of Primary Healthcare Clinics throughout Iraq. The rehabilitation of the Civil Defense Headquarters (CDHQ) is now complete. The CDHQ facility serves as the center of operations for all fire fighting and rescue capacity in Iraq.
