Book excerpt: This report to Congress, Measuring Stability and Security in Iraq, includes specific performance indicators and measures of progress toward political, economic, and security stability in Iraq, as directed by legislation. This is the twentieth report in this series of quarterly reports. The most recent report was submitted in May 2010. As a consequence of the movement of U.S. combat forces out of Iraqi cities on June 30, 2009, the United States has reduced visibility and ability to verify Iraqi reports. Without a robust U.S. presence, United States Forces-Iraq (USF-I) metrics include host nation reports that are not independently verifiable. The overall trends between U.S. force data and host nation data are very close, but some values may differ. Current charts show a combination of U.S. and host-nation reported data. The combination of these reports causes baseline numbers to increase, making it difficult to compare these charts with those from previous publications of this report. Each slide is annotated to indicate the types of reports included. Political, rule of law, economic and energy, and security trends in Iraq continued to improve this period, but progress was limited as the Iraqis remain focused on forming the government following a successful election. The ISF have executed their security responsibilities extremely well, maintaining historically low levels of security incidents. All operations are conducted by, with, and through the ISF, while U.S. Forces continue to advise, train, assist, and equip the ISF to improve their capabilities and capacity. Meanwhile, USF-I is on track to complete the transition to stability operations by September 1, 2010. The ongoing implementation of the SFA this reporting period sets the stage for long-term cooperative efforts as Iraq develops into a sovereign, stable, self-reliant partner in the region and as the United States transitions roles and responsibilities from U.S. Forces to the GoI, the U.S. Embassy Baghdad, and other non-USF-I entities. The tentative resumption of foreign investment is an indicator that the continued reductions in overall violence have provided Iraqis an environment where political and economic development can occur. In spite of progress this period, challenges remain. Violent extremist networks, while significantly degraded, are still able to execute attacks. Tensions will remain high until the government is seated. Iraq remains fragile, primarily because many underlying sources of political instability have yet to be resolved. Once the new government is formed, it will need to continue to build legitimacy through the provision of basic services and improved security for the Iraqi people, the formulation of a solid plan for long-term economic growth and employment, and the creation of enduring solutions to lingering political, ethnic, and sectarian disputes.

Book excerpt: The strategic goal of the United States in Iraq remains a unified, democratic Iraq that can govern, defend and sustain itself and is an ally in the war on terror. This report measures progress towards, and setbacks from, achieving that goal during the reporting period (June through August 2007). This period saw full implementation of the New Way Forward during which all U.S. "surge" brigades and combat enablers became available to operate in Baghdad and surrounding areas. Despite the decision to temporarily increase force levels in Iraq to help the Iraqi government provide security to its population, it remains the policy of the United States and its Coalition partners to transition security responsibility to the Government of Iraq over time.
Download or read book Report to Congress Measuring Stability and Security in Iraq written by and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report to Congress is submitted pursuant to the section entitled "Measuring Stability and Security in Iraq" of House Conference Report 109-72 accompanying H.P. 1268, Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror, and Tsunami Relief 2005, Public Law 109-13. The report is divided into two sections corresponding to those identified in the Conference Report. The initial section of the report focuses on Stability and Security in Iraq and enumerates goals and progress regarding Iraq's political stability, security environment, and economic progress. The second section of the report, on Security Force Training and Performance, provides indicators of the training and development of the Iraqi Security Forces (ISF), including the forces of the Ministry of Defense (MOD) and the police and other paramilitary forces of the Ministry of Interior (MOI). A classified annex to this report will address U.S. military requirements and various possible force rotations, and classified data concerning security force training and performance. The U.S. Government places emphasis on the development of metrics that allows the Iraqi Government to assess progress toward the objectives of the strategy for Iraq. The U.S. Government's objectives include: transitioning to security self-reliance; supporting freedom and democracy; providing essential services: establishing the foundation for a strong economy; promoting the rule of law; maintaining international engagement and support; and promoting strategic communications. Through a collaborative, interagency approach, performance metrics have been developed to measure progress towards these objectives. Data relating to Iraq's political, security, and economic spheres of activity are collected from both Iraqi and U.S. sources, including Multinational Forces-Iraq (MNF-I) and the U.S. Mission in Iraq.

Download or read book Withdrawal from Iraq written by Anthony H. Cordesman and published by CSIS. This book was released on 2009 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Iraq and the US face a critical transition during the period through 2011 and beyond. There is still a war to finish, but this is only part of the challenge both countries face. No one can be certain whether Iraq can achieve a stable level of political accommodation to deal with its internal problems. Iran seeks to expand it's influence, and Turkey will not tolerate a sanctuary for hostile Kurdish movements like the PKK. Arab support for Iraq remains weak, and Iraq's Arab neighbors fear both Shi'ite dominance and what that could mean in terms of Iran's role in Syria and Lebanon as well as Iraq. Even if it moves forward towards stability and political accommodation and largely ends the insurgency, it will be extremely difficult for Iraq to develop all of the security capabilities it needs for even the counterinsurgency mission before the full US withdrawal scheduled to take place by the end of 2011. This could force the US to hand over responsibility to the Iraqi Security Forces before these forces are fully able to do the job. It could also force the US to withdraw prematurely the US trainers and partner units that the IRS needs to secure the country and defend it from any threat from it's neighbors. ... Dealing with these issues will be a critical priority for the US for at least half a decade to come.

Download or read book Iraq and the United States written by Anthony H. Cordesman and published by CSIS. This book was released on 2010 with total page 396 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If Iraq and the United States are to win the war in any meaningful and lasting sense, they must translate the Strategic Agreement they signed in November 2008 into a lasting and functional strategic partnership. In the process, the United States must put Iraq firmly in the lead, but sustain the kind of aid and advice that will help Iraq make further progress in political accommodation, the quality of governance, economic development, and security. The CSIS Burke Chair in Strategy conducted a detailed analysis of the current situation in Iraq, the challenges Iraq faces, and the actions the United States needs to take to help Iraq meet those challenges. Its report provides a detailed risk assessment of current and potential levels of violence in Iraq. It addresses the levels of political accommodation and stability and the problems Iraq still faces in the aftermath of the national election. It also addresses the opportunities and problems in developing Iraq's petroleum sector; investment and development issues in other sectors, the problems in the Iraqi budget forecasts, and progress in Iraqi reconstruction. It evaluates the need for continued economic aid and advice and describes U.S. options for extending such assistance. The concluding section examines progress in creating Iraqi military and police forces. It examines the role the United States can play in helping Iraq further develop such forces and analyzes what a strategic partnership, based on the Strategic Agreement, should mean.

This book was released on 2006 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This report to Congress includes specific performance indicators and measures of progress toward political, economic, and security stability in Iraq, as directed in Section 9010, DoD Defense Appropriations Act 2007. This is the sixth in a series of reports on this subject. The goal of U.S. engagement in Iraq is a united, stable, democratic, and secure nation, where Iraqis have the institutions and resources they need to govern themselves and to provide security for their country. The metrics discussed in this report measure progress toward and setbacks from this goal and help illuminate the challenges. Although the U.S. goal remains constant, the ways and means used to achieve the goal have changed and will continue to change to adapt to a shifting situation. The United States and its Coalition partners remain committed to assist the Iraqi people to take over full responsibility for their country. Ultimately, success in these efforts lies with the Iraqi people. The period covered in this report (August 12, 2006 to November 10, 2006) saw incremental progress in the Government of Iraq's willingness and ability to take over responsibility, to build institutions, and to deliver essential services. This progress is notable given the escalating violence in some of Iraq's more populous regions and the tragic loss of civilian life at the hands of terrorists and other extremists. To counter this violence, Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) have assumed more leadership in counterinsurgency and law enforcement operations as they approach completion of the programmed goals for training and equipping. The Government of Iraq has identified future security requirements and is working, both independently and with the United States, to program additional security resources. The international community also is responding to its role in Iraq's peaceful development, as evidenced by recent United Nations Security Council resolutions and regional engagement initiatives.

This book was released on 2008 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Section 9010 of the Defense Appropriations Act of 2007, Public Law 109-289, requires the Secretary of Defense to submit a quarterly report to the Congress that presents a comprehensive set of performance indicators and measures of progress toward military and political stability in Iraq. One indicator being reported is information on the number of Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) authorized (required), assigned (on-the-payroll), and trained. The Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction (SIGIR) reviewed available information to assess the reliability and usefulness of the number of forces authorized, assigned, and trained, as reflected in the March 2008 Department of Defense (DoD) Section 9010 report, "Measuring Stability and Security in Iraq," and the methodology for gathering the information, including the extent to which DoD reviews and/or validates this information.

Book excerpt: Author, radio commentator, and sometime US government agent, Cordesman (Center for Strategic and International Studies) argues that the US must construct Iraqi military, security, and police forces as an essential element of nation-building and stability, and presents a program for doing so. Most of the book is analysis of the planning and execution of the 2003 US invasion of Iraq and the subsequent occupation and resistance to it. Then he looks at The Iraqi View, the evolving nature of the conflict and the risk of sectarian and ethnic conflict, before laying out his own ideas in the final chapter.
