Iraqi Military Reconstruction
Note: After 20-Jan-05, MNF-I, DoD, and the State Department ceased to release detailed weekly reports on Iraqi Security Force totals or goals. Information after 20-Jan-05 is drawn from briefings and less regular reporting. Information before 20-Jan-05 is drawn from weekly DoD and State Department reports. After 22-Mar-04, Border Police were incorporated into Border Enforcement and subsequent Border Enforcement numbers reflect this. After 20-Jul-04, no counts of Civil Defense forces were reported. Instead, these forces were distributed to the other branches of the Ministry of Defense. After 20-Jan-05, counts of National Guard, Intervention, and Special Operations forces were made part of the Army total. After 18-Oct-04, Facilities Protection forces were no longer tallied within the Ministry of Interior. After 20-Jan-05 Highway Patrol totals were included within Police totals. Information corresponds to roughly the date listed, but occasionally corresponds to a slightly different date. Thus, numbers for MOD and MOI forces may not add up exactly. All totals are rounded to the nearest hundred.
