TF Troy ISF P&T Challenges

• Lack of coordinated strategic end state (C-IED, forensics, labs)Poor Inter-Ministry cooperation; multiple CF initiatives difficult to synchronize

• MNF-I CJ5 / MOD M5 working to develop IA strategy – next level? GOI?

• Information sharing under new Security AgreementIGFC orders to share with CF is proving successfulMOI still not onboard; citing Rule of Law issue

• EOD Team level partnerships continue to succeed

Manning training and eq ipping IP Co nter E plosi e Teams• Manning, training and equipping IP Counter Explosive TeamsLittle funding, poor leadership – MOI not able to assume “primacy” of C-IED fight

• Elevate C-IED strategy to GOI level• Aggressively pursue initiatives to fill IP CET gapsAggressively pursue initiatives to fill IP CET gaps

• Poor ISF incident reporting, C2 “OODA” loop, information & intelligence cycle embryonic at best

14UNCLASSIFIED//FOUO

intelligence cycle embryonic at best Unable to share info, identify trends or TTP in timely manner; no “left of boom”

• Fill gap through partnerships & CF info sharing

UNCLASSIFIED//FOUO

Key Points• Iraqi C-IED capability is critical to the security of Iraq

GOI support is critical, for the good of Iraq• Coalition can help fill gaps, as Iraq develops, executes strategyCoa t o ca e p gaps, as aq de e ops, e ecutes st ategy• Sharing & cooperation between CF and ISF is essential as CF departs Iraq

• Must have coordinated strategic end state (C-IED, forensics, labs)Cooperation between MOI & MOD entities is crucial to effective C-IED strategy

• Pool resources, plan together, work together, protect Iraq together

• Unity of effort, open lines of communication very importantUnity of effort, open lines of communication very importantMust build effective command and control for EOD, investigations, and exploitation

• Iraq must develop effective C-IED capabilitiesDefeat the network before the explosions occur

• Site exploitation, reporting, fusion, analysis = defeat the enemy network
