TF SAFE: Protecting the Force in Iraq Against Fire and Electrical Hazards

Abstract

Fire and electrical incidents in Iraq were at an all-time high in the summer of 2008, killing 19 people on MNF-I bases across the Iraq Joint Operations Area (IJOA). As a result, Multi-National ForcesIraq (MNF-I) activated the Task Force Safety Actions for Fire and Electricity (TF SAFE) program in August 2008. TF SAFEs 3-year mission was to protect the force against fire and electrical hazards in the environment we control; inside the wire on our Contingency Operating Bases, Locations, and Sites. Under the direction of the MNF-I J4, Multi-National Corps-Iraq (MNC-I) C7, and later the USF-I J7, TF SAFE (deactivated on Nov. 12, 2011) combined the efforts of Service members, DoD civilians, and contractors from MNF-I, MNC-I, USF-I, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), and the Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) to combat the threat of fire and electrical hazards.
