Baku – APA. As U.S. forces formally hand over control to the Iraqi Security Services, there are questions as to whether the Iraqi army is up to the challenge. Iraqi troops have been training under U.S. guidance since 2004, APA reports quoting “The Voice of Americaâ€.
There are Iraqi Army soldiers training at a military base south of Baghdad, and it is soldiers like these that six U.S. Advise and Assist Brigades - part of the forces remaining in Iraq - will be helping to train in the coming year.
U.S. advisors will provide training, advice, and what they call "enablers" - such a surveillance equipment and air support. Lieutenant Colonel Joe Corcitto is quick to point out, however, that Iraqi security forces are in full command.
"They have got the mission, they are very good at this," said Corcitto. "We just help bring in the enablers, that are not yet [possessed by] the Iraqi Army."
