More Book Details

Description of the Book:

The Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR) conducted this review to assess the United States Forces-Iraq’s (USFI) management of its program to develop the Iraqi Special Operations Force (ISOF). This is the Iraqi force primarily responsible for conducting counterinsurgency operations against insurgent and extremist networks, and denying safe haven to terrorists. The program was carried out by the Joint Forces Special Operations Component Command-Iraq assigned to USF-I and its predecessor organizations. In this report we refer to these organizations collectively as U.S. Special Operations Forces (USSOF). In March 2010, SIGIR issued an interim report (SIGIR 10-009) on contracts awarded to provide the ISOF with a counterterrorism communications network and intelligence database. SIGIR made several recommendations in the report to improve contract management. SIGIR’s objectives in this report were to assess the extent to which the ISOF training program goals and outcomes were met; identify program costs; and assess the status of ISOF transition to the Government of Iraq (GOI) and the GOI’s sustainment of the force
