Developing capable Iraqi security forces is a critical component in U.S. efforts to achieve this important goal. Since 2003, the United States has provided $15.4 billion to develop Iraqi military and police forces. DOD has also asked for an additional $5.8 billion in its fiscal year 2007 supplemental request and fiscal year 2008 Global War on Terror budget request to continue U.S. efforts to develop Iraq forces and transition security responsibilities to them. This testimony discusses the (1) results of U.S. efforts to develop Iraqi security forces, and (2) factors that affect the development of effective Iraqi security forces. This testimony is based on GAO's issued reports and ongoing work on U.S. efforts to stabilize Iraq. Although we reviewed both classified and unclassified documents, the information in this statement is based only on unclassified documents. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-612T/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-612T.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-612T/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-612T.pdf GAO-07-612T https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-07-612T Testimony GAO-07-612T; Stabilizing Iraq: Factors Impeding the Development of Capable Iraqi Security Forces; Counterinsurgency Federal aid to foreign countries Foreign governments Information classification Law enforcement Military forces Military training Police Police training Policy evaluation Strategic forces Global War on Terrorism Iraq National Strategy for Victory in Iraq
