An undeclared amendment to the strategy of the International Coalition is pushing him to reduce his forces in Iraq
Translation: Hamid Ahmed
Western contractors working at the base of the International Alliance in northern Iraq, that the US military began withdrawing its forces and reduce its military presence in the country, after the declaration of Baghdad last year, the victory on the organization of a supporter.
The contractors said that arms and military equipment were being transported from Iraq and shipped out of the country to Afghanistan, noting that dozens of US soldiers had left Iraq on daily flights over the past week.
"The US-led international coalition, for the first time since launching its military campaign against a pro-Western organization three years ago, reached an agreement with the Iraqi government to reduce the number of troops in Iraq," the two officials said in an interview with the Associated Press. The withdrawal process has not officially begun yet. "
On the other hand, the Associated Press reported that its correspondent at al-Assad air base in western Iraq witnessed the movement of the forces, which confirms the statements of the contractors to start the process of reduction.
The agency pointed out that the contractors and Iraqi officials asked not to be named, and declined to disclose the number and size of troops that will be reduced.
In a related context, a spokesman for the Iraqi government, said on Monday that US forces began to reduce their numbers in Iraq after Baghdad announced the victory on the organization of an advocate.
In turn, a spokesman for the International Coalition Col. Ryan Dillon, "The continued presence of the coalition in Iraq will be subject to circumstances, and will match the need in coordination with the Iraqi government."
A senior Iraqi official close to Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi said that according to the initial agreement reached with the United States, 60% of US troops currently in Iraq will be withdrawn.
The implementation of the plan would leave a force of about 4,000 US troops to continue training the Iraqi army. According to a report released by the Pentagon in November, the number of US troops in Iraq as of September 2014, was about 8892 US soldiers.
The first US air strike against a militant organization was launched in Iraq in August 2014. At that time, the US military intervention was described as "limited" but as soon as the Iraqi army began its military confrontation against armed militants, the presence of coalition troops in the country began to increase steadily .
Lt. John Raymond, a US Army officer at Assad Air Base, said, "We have recently changed the nature of our mission, and we will move soon to provide support in a different theater. For operations over the next month. "Raymond, in line with the principle of confidentiality of information that has not yet been announced, refused to disclose the new location, which would redeploy its military unit.
The reduction of US military forces comes just three months before the date of parliamentary elections in Iraq, while the issue of the unspecified presence of US troops in the country, a controversial issue.
Abadi, who is trying to retain his position for a second term, has long struggled to balance the interests of the two rival allies of Iraq, the United States and Iran.
While the massive US military support of Iraqi forces has helped to win important victories, including the return of Mosul, Shiite-led forces with ties close to Iran have called for the withdrawal of US troops from Iraq. The prime minister had previously indicated that the Iraqi army would need training by the Americans for many years to come.
Iraq declared its victory in December after three years of fierce battles against extremists during a war fought by Iraqi forces with direct support close to the United States. The organization was at its peak in 2014 when it gained control of nearly a third of Iraq's territory.
According to US and Iraqi officials, despite the collapse of a caliphate in Iraq and Syria, and the insurgents no longer control the territory of the two countries, the organization remains a threat in Iraq.
Brigadier General James Glain, a Marine, said during a briefing to the Pentagon last month that Da'id's organization still retains sleeper cells of insurgents to carry out attacks in Iraq aimed at destabilizing the country's internal security.
He pledged to continue to provide support to Iraqi security forces, but acknowledged the possibility of a change in the capabilities of coalition forces in Iraq with the cessation of the implementation of conventional military operations against a major supporter.
