2008-07-30 |
The operation now under way to clear enemies from Iraq's Diyala province is Iraqi-conceived, Iraqi-planned and Iraqi-led, a senior coalition officer said today. U.S. Army Brig. Gen. David Perkins, Multinational Force Iraq spokesman, along with Iraqi army spokesman Maj. Gen. Mohammed al-Askari, spoke with reporters at a Baghdad news conference. Perkins said coalition forces will provide capabilities such as air support, helicopter support, some logistical support and engineer support for the operation in Diyala. |

#1 Importantly, this is a Corps level operation, a final exam of Iraqi forces capabilities. You can bet your bottom dollar that US officers and senior NCOs are at Iraqi Corps HQ, writing furiously. |
