BAGHDAD — Twenty-five Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) troops recently graduated from a three-week training course taught by U.S. Special Operations Forces (SOF). The ISF will work closely with the SOF during the transition of Al Anbar’s security back to the Iraqi Government.
This graduating class, one of the first such units in the area, consists of people from all local tribes. The SOF unit instructed ISF recruits on the importance of physical training, how to secure a building and how to conduct searches once an area is secure.
The unit was developed to fight terrorism in Ramadi.
