BAGHDAD – The Government of Iraq completed its fifth command and control exercise with the Prime Minister’s National Operations Centre, the Ministry of Interior’s National Command Centre, the Ministry of Defence’s Joint Operations Centre, and several provincial military and police centres recently.
