US DoD term for law enforcement and military of Iraq

US DoD term for law enforcement and military of Iraq

The Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) was a term used by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) to describe law enforcement and military forces of the federal government of the Republic of Iraq. During the Iraq War, these entities received training and instruction from the multinational MNF-I and later on during the war against ISIS, they received further training and assistance from the CJTF-OIR.

According to Article 121 of Iraq's constitution, the federal regions are responsible for the establishment and organization of internal security forces of their respective regions. Therefore, Peshmerga is not within the scope of this term.

Composition

The ISF consists of the following agencies and departments:

  • Ministry of Defense
    • Iraqi Armed Forces:
      • Iraqi Army
        • Iraqi Army Aviation Command
      • Iraqi Navy
      • Iraqi Air Force
      • Iraqi Air Defence Command
  • Ministry of Interior:
    • Iraqi Police
    • Facilities Protection Service
    • Department of Border Enforcement
    • Popular Mobilization Forces
