Friendly Forces

The combat capabilities of the Iraqi forces have grown tremendously over the past six months in al Anbar province. Iraqi security forces now include almost two full infantry divisions of Iraqi Army Soldiers, two division headquarters have formed in al Anbar, and four brigade headquarters and ten infantry battalions have deployed to the region.

Operation Steel Curtain is the biggest large-scale employment of multiple battalion-sized units of Iraqi Army forces fighting alongside Coalition Forces in the province in more than a year. The army continues to fight as a joint force due to its lack of heavy equipment.

There is now enough basic equipment for each man, but to function as a proper army, the Iraqi Army needs armored vehicles for the desert terrain, artillery, mortars, and air coverage. Still, the army has come a long way. At one time, the Iraqi Army battalion of 1,000 men had equipment for only 500 troops. After a five-day shift, each soldier handed over weapon, helmet, and ammo pouch to the next soldier coming on duty. Remarkably, the lack of resources only made the Iraqis more determined to win.

Iraqi troops excel at weapons marksmanship, platoon-level operations, securing fixed site locations, and reacting quickly to diverse threats as a unified force. The Tikrit division of the army successfully secured their local voter polling sites and the provincial ballot Polling Distribution Site during elections. Everyday, Iraqis secure convoy routes, perform cordon and knock operations, obtain information about insurgent activities, and engage in urban warfare.

Sayerot encompass the largest category of Israeli Special Forces, reconnaissance and anti-terrorism specialists that boast an unparalleled ability to conduct stealthy, covert missions.

Sayerot commandos are assigned to distinct brigades, but work effectively as a team or alone: deep-penetration forces conduct individual missions both inside Israel's borders and throughout the world.

The Sayerot are best known for their 1976 raid on the airport at Entebbe, where they successfully freed 100 Air France passengers held hostage in a Ugandan airport by PLO terrorists. The successful operation showcased the Sayerot’s ability to counter terror, conduct superior reconnaissance, quickly gather intelligence, and operate under the most intense timeline.

Sayerot troops’ highly specialized training includes mastering a variety of skills: free-fall parachuting; long-haul driving, scuba diving, and the use of specialized weapons. The range of abilities ensures the ultra-secretive unit is prepared for any assignment, anywhere in the world, anytime.

Enemy Forces

Formed around 1988 by Osama bin Laden, al-Qaeda helped finance, recruit, transport and train thousands of fighters from dozens of countries as part of the Afghan resistance against the Soviet Union. The resulting group turned into an international terrorist network after the war, and in February, 1998, it issued a statement declaring war on all US citizens and allies, everywhere they could be found. It’s strength further increased in June, 2001, when it merged with an Egyptian terrorist group headed by Ayman al-Zawahiri.

Al Qaeda has sophisticated tactics for assassination, bombing, hijacking, and kidnapping, with good operational security, and long-range planning. Many reports and statements from bin Laden himself indicate that the group is determined to build or steal biological, chemical and nuclear weapons. Their targets tend to be prominent symbols and public buildings, high-profile buildings. According to CIA head George Tenet, the organization has increasingly focused on developing puppet groups to carry out attacks in which bin Ladin's fingerprints are not detected.

With a global financial network, dozens of affiliated groups, and several thousand recruits, the organization has provided training and support for terrorists fighting in Afghanistan, Algeria, Bosnia, Chechnya, Eritrea, Kosovo, the Philippines, Somalia, Tajikistan, Yemen, Kosovo, as well as North and South America.
