Iraqi Army Arrives at Al Kisik
Mosul, Iraq -- Iraqi Security Forces have doubled in size to keep pace with Multi-National Forces in northern Iraq who have also doubled in size.
Several hundred Iraqi Army Soldiers reported to Al Kisik military base west of Mosul on Jan. 15. Iraqi Soldiers continue to arrive at Al Kisik to provide additional security for the conduct of free elections.
As more Iraqi Soldiers continue to move into the area, the number of operations will grow and operational areas will shrink. The force increase will mean Iraqi citizens in northern Iraq will have better protection against anti-Iraqi insurgent attacks.
Iraqi Security Forces and Multi-National Forces have been operating side by side to provide Iraqi citizens with greater protection during the elections. Jointly they operate to disrupt, neutralize and destroy all anti-Iraqi insurgents who are trying to prevent free elections.
