Iraqi soldiers maintain individual proficiency in these weapons as a critical part of a squad’s firepower. The Coalition and its partners remain united and resolved to prevent the resurgence of Daesh and its violent extremist ideology. (U.S. Army Photo by Spc. Zachary Myers)

Coalition training programs include courses in areas as diverse as operational planning, counter-terrorism, logistics and sustainment, equipment maintenance, counter improvised explosive device techniques and law enforcement.
