Received the urgent need to re-build the Iraqi army prominent coverage after that show US Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter strategy of the United States in the war against regulation, and in front "of the Armed Services Committee," in the US House of Representatives.
Carter stressed that "permanent defeat to organize Daash still need to local forces to fight on the battlefield and won."
The military training led by the United States under implementation in Iraq Programme continues. She graduated yet 5 new Iraqi brigades and special forces unit and battalion eleventh poll. And Ashraf trainers from the United States, Spain, Portugal, Australia, New Zealand and Italy to train these units and on the field Tmarenha.
The lack of these brigades to a sufficient number of soldiers, since most of them featuring less than 1,500 troops in each brigade, that is, one-third of the ideal force for the formation of an Iraqi general. However, these units represent a basis on which to form a complete power units, its members be trained to instruct new recruits.
It is planned the formation of four new brigades in the Iraqi army and two brigades in the guards of the Kurdistan region, "Peshmerga", as it was rebuilt seven Iraqi brigades from the remnants of units which was destroyed in the summer of 2014
is not enough to form new units or reconstruction of the affected units to revive the Iraqi army. Iraq should also fit the process of appointing military commanders in order to regain the ability to control Baghdad central planning and execution of military operations.
The organization is similar to the Iraqi army currently it pyramid upside down, with a large number of people with the deans of the three stars who lead teams of military and overlapping areas. Often they issued conflicting orders about troop movements, leading to gaps get back caused to leave the military teams to areas before the arrival of support teams. Precisely for this reason collapses began in Mosul and Ramadi.
Iraqi army should reverse pyramid leadership to head the Chief of Staff entrepreneur unified command structure and issue clear orders. In this context, the declaration on 30 June, on the transfer of the Iraqi Army Chief of Staff Babacar Zebari to retirement, opens the door to significant opportunity. The Zebari had assumed the presidency of the General Staff as a representative of the Kurds under the ethnic quota system - sectarian, and served his country with dedication as a team first in the Iraqi army since 2003, but faced many obstacles because of the quota system.
It is essential that the Iraqi army is headed by one of his officers in order to regain his pride and fighting spirit. Just as in the old days of the Iraqi army, there should be a mini and influential circle of the House of Representatives in order to cooperate Chief of Staff, namely: Deputy military operations, and another for the affairs of logistics, and a third of the training, and the fourth of the management, and the fifth for intelligence.
Finally, it must be Iraqi Prime Minister Chief of Staff new, and the best way to achieve this is the appointment of the new dean deputy general commander of the Iraqi armed forces.
On the other hand, lack of discipline led to the prevalence of fragility and weaknesses in the ranks of the Iraqi army. Valillat corrupt receiving bribes from soldiers never Aaadon their military service, a phenomenon that has become known as the "ghost soldier". The lack of units to the required number seriously, and the remaining soldiers exhausted and suffered fatigue.
It is difficult to isolate a large part of the current officers even under the best of circumstances, not to mention the midway of a desperate war.
was able Alliance, which the United States led from periodic changes in leadership Iraqi units: Between 2006 and 2007, was isolated 35 of the top leaders, who number 39 in my band Federal Police, with the rank of battalion commander and above.
It can today make such a wide range of rotation, if you send new units to the front rows, which allows withdraw debilitating units of leadership is effective from forward positions in order to be re-trained and make changes in its leadership.
The latter example about the lack of discipline is the failure of military officials in the leadership of their teams during crises on the battlefield. Among the factors that lead to such disasters is a poor choice of leaders. For example, when the fall of Ramadi in April 2015, was commander of a proxy for "Anbar Operations Center" is the same officer who deserted his regiment in Kirkuk before that ten months, causing a state of panic led to the collapse of the band.
did not punish government and military leaders for having caused such these military failures. Has not yet been punished Dean prominent because of the calamities that befell Mosul and Ramadi, and the Iraqi government has issued a general amnesty for junior officers who caused the defeat of their teams.
suffers new brigade of the Iraqi army from a shortage of soldiers because only 9,000 of the recruits who have not been crowd numbering 24,000 and the army suffers from corruption in the administration and logistical matters, plus it does not have the elegance of units the popular crowd.
It is necessary to combine political leaders and religious leaders of Iraqi efforts to increase the number of recruits in the Iraqi army. And it must be supported by the military reforms of the fatwas of the Shiite religious authorities in order to be attracting recruits to the regular army units and the integration of the popular crowd in the army. Iraq has proven its ability to form elite units through the organization of competitive selection processes which fails a lot of recruits. Thus it was formed the golden band that received wide respect. It is possible again if a harsh training provide the necessary number of recruits.
