Until mid-April, there has been no change in the nationalities of countries that have a military presence in Iraq, within the framework of the International Alliance for the war on the organization, "Daash," but the transformation occurred on the actual number of these forces and the tasks carried out, Such as the United States, France, Britain, Germany and Italy, according to two officials in the Iraqi government.
Turkey, which has increased its forces over the past 10 months in Baishika, Sidkan and Soran in the provinces of Ninewa and Dohuk, is excluded from the equation, which it says is to push the PKK into danger.
A prominent member of the Iraqi parliament revealed the alliance of "building" Faleh al-Khazali on the number of US troops present in Iraq, saying in a statement that Prime Minister Adel Abdul Mahdi told him the presence of ten thousand US soldiers between a fighter and an adviser on Iraqi territory. This is the first time that the number of US troops has been officially disclosed, with previous estimates of some 5,000 fighters.
Although the international coalition, led by Washington, has about 60 countries, there are 16 foreign active forces on the ground in Iraq, except for some 20 other countries that do not exist on the ground, but they support the Iraqi government in its war against the "Daash" organization, but The new information indicates the end of the combat operations of many of these forces, but it has not withdrawn, only decreased, and has continued to train, equip and equip Iraqi forces.
"Iraq has not witnessed any withdrawal of foreign forces on its territory during the past period, which has happened that the tasks of many of them have shrunk and diminished, after the adoption of the parliaments of the States of these forces by the end of part of their service, Such as the Netherlands, Sweden and Canada, "noting that" these forces remain in Iraq for logistics, especially as the military operations against Daqash is over. "
The officer pointed out that "the Australian troops withdrew as a combat military support forces as well as German, and the remaining members of the service logistic service qualities," He also stressed that "the number of French combat soldiers fell significantly from the former."
The official added that the United States remains the first foreign force in Iraq, with Marines and Commandos, a squadron of helicopters, armor, tanks, ground combat units and parachutes, as well as advisory and training forces and engineering forces concerned with the maintenance of equipment, aircraft and military vehicles of the Iraqi army, As well as other matters included in Iraqi forces' assistance.
"For the Russians, they have no presence at the logistics level, not at the military level, but within the quadruple coordination chamber that brings together Iran and Iraq and the forces of the Bashar al-Assad regime, which is not a unit of operations, Just". He revealed that "the Turks increased their number in contrast to the rest of the forces, specifically in Bashiqa, and parts of the Kurdistan region."
"The remaining coalition forces are to complement the capabilities of the Iraqi armed forces, particularly in terms of training, arming and equipping," said Yahya Rasool, spokesman for the joint military operations command. "These forces are essential to advise these areas, Is very important for our military formations. "
"The number of foreign troops retreated from 2014, because the military operations against Daqash is over," he said, adding: "But we still have the eradication of what remains of the organization, so we need advice, training and armament, Of international expertise, especially as we are now working to create our local forces on the fourth generation of wars, that is fighting the streets and mountain ranges and desert. "
"Iraq has become a competent trainer, but at the same time we continue to train our military sectors by the best means, through the use of foreign forces, and to identify the best weapons and equipment." Comprehensive capacity building needs time, and we still need foreign forces not to fight on the ground. , But to train our army in professional and strong ways. "
In the meantime, parliamentary blocs are struggling themselves to pass a law to remove foreign forces from bases in different parts of Iraq, on the pretext of not to use them after the end of the battle with the organization "Daash."
In this context, a member of the Committee on Security and Defense in the Iraqi Council of Representatives, Badr Zeadi, that "
He pointed out that "Iraq to this moment imports Western military equipment followed by ground forces and the air force, and this equipment needs cadres for training, for a period of time until the formation of Iraqi teams are able to train other soldiers," adding, "However, the The general trend of the parliament is still to remove the foreign combat forces only, but the issue of the forces that train our elements remain in accordance with the direction of the General Command, noting that we have identified combat forces on the ground in Iraq, so we have prepared a draft road for the purpose of the removal of these forces.
In turn, the expert on armed groups, Hisham al-Hashemi, that "there is a difference between the number of soldiers who participate in combat missions, and those who perform non-combat roles such as training," stressing that "Iraq is still in dire need of the efforts of the International Alliance, American or non-American. " "Every foreign force is trained on the type of weapon it produces and exports to Iraq," he said. "We can not forsake a force of 150 Americans, an operator of F-16s, because the planes will not fly without their presence. A force that protects them, and they do not trust the local forces, so they rely on special elements for that. "
