In August 2007 and June 2008, I wrote monster articles projecting Iraqi Security Forces planned development by 2012 and, in some cases, beyond. I am not going to do that this year. Instead I have been writing separate articles addressing the components of the Iraqi Security Forces:

June 30, 2009: Commandos in the ISF June 30, 2009: Iraqi Special Operations Force June 30, 2009: The Iraqi Emergency Response Brigade July 15, 2009: Kurdish Regional Guards: The best OPSEC in Iraq July 20, 2009: Iraqi Federal Police: More than a name change? July 26, 2009: Low on the Iraqi MoI Totem Pole: Department of Border Enforcement July 29, 2009: Iraqi Facilities Protection Force July 31, 2009: Iraqi Aviation: Status and predicted force August 9, 2009: Iraqi Praetorians August 14, 2009: The Iraqi Navy August 19, 2009: Iraqi Army: Now and in the future

Iraqi Total Force Mobilization remains to be addressed. This article is about the two elements of the Iraqi Joint Forces Command that have not been addressed: Logistics and training.

Logistics and training is not exciting or sexy to most people. They are just essential to all operations.
