The Iraqi military is the armed forces of the Republic of Iraq, responsible for defending the country and maintaining security. It consists of the Iraqi Army, Iraqi Air Force, and Iraqi Navy, with a focus on land, air, and maritime operations. The military has undergone significant restructuring and modernization since the early 2000s, particularly after the fall of the Saddam Hussein regime. The Iraqi military plays a crucial role in combating terrorism, especially against groups like ISIS. It collaborates with international partners, including the United States, to enhance its capabilities and training. The military's primary mission is to ensure national sovereignty and protect the Iraqi people.
