Interim Report on Projects to Develop the Iraqi Special Operations Forces

Abstract

Since 2003, the Congress has appropriated $18.04 billion in Iraqi Security Forces Funding to support the development of the Iraqi Security Forces. Of this total, about $333 million was appropriated to train and equip the Iraqi SOF from 2004 to 2009. The Iraqi SOF fall under the Counter-Terrorism Command (CTC), which responds to target priorities and mission execution orders conveyed by the Prime Minister, through the Counter-Terrorism Service (formerly the Counter Terrorism Bureau).4 The CTC is also responsible for integrating intelligence and providing command and control of counter-terrorism operations nationwide. Under the direction of the CTC, the Iraqi SOF operational mission specializes in counter-terrorism and counterinsurgency tactics.
