Iraqi Security Forces Continue To Exceed Recruitment Goals

RAMADI, Iraq - The newly formed Iraqi security forces continued recruitment training and missions over the last day to bring peace and prosperity to the residents of the Al Anbar province.

Over 600 candidates arrived to fill the 106 available slots in the 3rd Iraqi Border Police Battalion in Al Qa'im, demonstrating the desire of the Iraqi people to secure their own future. Civil affairs teams with the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment assisted with the recruitment.

Today 232 police officers graduated from the Police Academy at Forward Operating Base Junction City in Ar Ramadi. Task Force "All American" continues to make progress in training and equipping the new Iraqi security forces.

The 1st Brigade, 1st Infantry Division completed training 195 Iraqi Civil Defense Corps recruits. Their graduation completes the training of all units in the 501st ICDC Battalion. At the Navea Training Center northwest of Hit, 220 ICDC recruits that graduated as soldiers continue their training.

Border police training at Al Asad continues and they will graduate 155 on Feb. 3.

These troops are the future of security forces in Iraq. They will be responsible for providing security, peace, and safety to the people of the Al Anbar province. The efforts and dedication of the previous graduates have been shown in the countless joint and independent patrols conducted in the region, as well as the police investigations and cordon and search operations.

Iraqi security forces are the key to the successful transition from Coalition to Iraqi control. Task Force "All American" will continue to train the security forces to ensure a rapid and seamless transition.

My biggest fear is that some of Saddams Loyalists may be joiningup, infiltrating and will cause problems from within at some future date.

My only fear is that some of Saddams loyalists may be joining up , filtering in to cause problems later.

Some will infiltrate, but they are doing a pretty good job of vetting them. In addition, the Iraqis themselves are ferreting them out. These people WANT freedom and our guys are giving them some pretty good role models. The people will now expect their military etc. to treat them as well as our soldiers treat them.
