GAO Report Examines Iraqi Force Independence

The nation's primary federal watchdog agency says Iraqis need better logisticians to procure supply and maintain equipment to become independent from US forces and what the US Department of Defense defines as an international coalition. The report from the General Accountability Office assumes that Iraqis have a structure capable of functioning as a free-standing military force representing Iraq. In fact, according to the Department of Defense, the Iraqi forces referred to in the report are organized, armed and funded by the US force in Iraq, and operate entirely under direct US military supervision.
