#1 There are several ways of looking at the progress of the Iraqi military. The first is how complete their military task organization is, from battalion to Corps level. Second is to compare specialty branches with US Army branches.

Whereas the former is "the tree", the latter is "the fruit on the tree".

They are so far along that the US is now helping them create "nice to have" but non-essential Combat Service Support units. Such CSS units do act as force multipliers, and keep the combat units fully functional longer, but it shows great confidence in the Iraqi Army that we can emphasize the utility of such units.
