Training Iraqi Security Forces

Описание: The seventh and latest contingent of Task Group Taji has begun its role of training Iraqi Security Forces following the Task Group's arrival into Iraq in May.

Task Group Taji-7 is assisting the Iraqi Army's Non-Commissioned Officer Academy in training students on the Officer and Junior Leader's Course. In their first week of instruction, Australian Army trainers facilitated an A1 Abrams tank familiarisation session with an Iraqi Army armoured unit, trained soldiers in urban operations and taught first aid and care of the battle casualty skills.

300 Australians and 100 New Zealanders are deployed as part of Task Group Taji, contributing to the broader coalition "Building Partner Capacity" mission.
