Retooling the Security Adviser
Abstract
Since at least mid-2004, success in Iraq has been predicated on Iraqi security forces taking responsibility for their own security, freeing U.S. forces for redeployment or for other tasks in theater. This paper will discuss the personal challenges involved in training the Iraqi military, particularly training for their non-traditional role in maintenance of domestic order. The paper reviews the challenges faced by a brigade adviser who takes a unit after graduation from basic training through initial operations within the region, to full combat operations supporting coalition forces in Samarra and Fallujah.
