Policemen from the 2nd National Police Division and Soldiers from 2nd Battalion, 506th Infantry IRegiment, attached to MND-B’s 4th Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division, kicked off the operation with a cordon and search mission. “The overall goal is to promote security and bring stability throughout the greater Baghdad area,” said Capt. Paul Olsen, com- mander, Company A, 2nd Bn., 506th Inf. Regt. “We will accom- plish this by interdicting, or disrupting, (terrorist) activities and disrupting death-squad operations and movement.” He added that essential services, in conjunction with combat operations, are also crucial to stability in the region and that MND-B and the government of Iraq will continue to provide and expand those services for the people of Iraq. Operation Together Forward is a combined collaboration of Iraqi Security Forces and MND-B. Working with the NPs has a two-fold effect, said Olsen, who hails from Leesburg, Fla. Running combined operations allows MND-B Soldiers to continue to teach ISF and help them to become more adept in their future role of assuming security for all of Iraq.

  • Iraq War 1 Iraq War
    Iraq War 1 Iraq War Further information: 2003 invasion of Iraq and Post-invasion Iraq The Iraq War (or War in Iraq) began on March 20, 2003[1] [2] with the invasion of Iraq by the United States under the administration of President George W. Bush and the United Kingdom under Prime Minister Tony Blair.[3] The war is also referred to as the Occupation of Iraq, the Second Gulf War, or Operation Iraqi Freedom by the US military. Prior to the invasion, the governments of the United States and the United Kingdom asserted that the possibility of Iraq employing weapons of mass destruction (WMD) threatened their security and that of their coalition/regional allies.[4] [5] [6] In 2002, the United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 1441 which called for Iraq to completely cooperate with UN weapon inspectors to verify that it was not in possession of weapons of mass destruction and cruise missiles. The United Nations Monitoring, Verification and Inspection Commission (UNMOVIC) was given access by Iraq under provisions of the UN resolution but found no evidence of weapons of mass destruction. Additional months of inspection to conclusively verify Iraq's compliance with the UN disarmament requirements were not undertaken.[7] [8] [9] [10] Head weapons inspector Hans Blix advised the UN Security Council that while Iraq's cooperation was "active", it was not "unconditional" and not "immediate". Iraq's declarations with regards to weapons of mass destruction could not be verified at the time, but unresolved tasks concerning Iraq's disarmament could be completed in "not years, not weeks, but months".[7] [11] Following the invasion, the U.S.-led Iraq Survey Group concluded that Iraq had ended its nuclear, chemical, and biological programs in 1991 and had no active programs at the time of the invasion but that Iraq intended to resume production once sanctions were lifted.[12] Although some degraded remnants of misplaced or abandoned chemical weapons from before 1991 were found, they were not the weapons which had been the main argument to justify the invasion.[13] Some U.S.
