The Iraqi Armed Forces are the military forces of Iraq, responsible for defending the country and maintaining security. They consist of the Iraqi Army, Iraqi Air Force, and Iraqi Navy, along with various support units. The forces have undergone significant restructuring and modernization since the early 2000s, particularly after the fall of the Saddam Hussein regime. The primary mission of the Iraqi Armed Forces is to protect Iraq's sovereignty and territorial integrity. They also play a crucial role in combating terrorism and insurgency, especially against groups like ISIS. The military collaborates with international partners for training and support to enhance its capabilities.
