reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA545967 | Open PDF

Abstract:

Since 2003, the United States has spent about 7.3 billion to support a program to help train, staff, and equip Iraqi police forces to maintain domestic order and deny terrorists a safe haven in Iraq. The program has been managed by Department of Defense DoD military organizations in Iraq, but management is scheduled to transfer to the Department of State DoS on October 1, 2011. The Government of Iraq GOI is responsible for training and equipping the police, and DoD continues to advise and assist the GOI with the training. The Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction SIGIR performed this audit because of the programs significance in terms of U.S. investment and Iraqi security and the pending transfer of the program from DoD to DoS.
