Iraqi Special Forces: Holding and Rising in the Desert
Back in 2016, President Ma Obama announced to the world: "ISIS has been largely eliminated by the international coalition." It seems that the spectre of terrorism will disappear from the Middle East, while the eyes of the world are gradually shifting from the Middle East to other places. However, just a few years later, a tenacious threat remains deep in Iraq's desert, and even ISIS has not completely disappeared, still raging as a guerrilla group. Thankfully, Iraq has a special army, a well-equipped team trained by U.S. special forces, or ISOF.
ISOF's story begins in 2004, when the United States was facing chaos and instability in Iraq. To avoid a potential threat to the old Iraqi army, the United States decided to disband the vast army and help the Iraqi government build a new, more elite army. The new force is the Iraqi Special Forces, which are trained in a similar way to those of the U.S. Special Forces, with members mainly Kurdish and Shiite believers who see the U.S. military as "liberators."
The original intention of the ISO was to maintain Iraq's national security, not to follow the will of the United States. Although they were trained and supported by the U.S. military, their loyalty has always belonged to their country and people. This loyalty drives them to keep working hard and growing.
In the early days, ISOF mainly assisted the U.S. military in security missions, but their tasks gradually escalated to include clearing terrorists and participating in complex street fighting. Although they faced resistance from anti-American sentiment in Iraq in the early stages, the ISIF soldiers followed their orders because they understood that their country needed them to hold on.
The fighters of the ISO showed themselves excellently, and their loyalty and courage were proven on the battlefield. U.S. support continued to grow, and ISOF's equipment was gradually upgraded to include the Swiss M400 assault rifle and the Rock River LAR15 carbine, as well as modern sights and body armor. In addition, ISOF uses some Chinese-made weapon accessories because they are affordable and have superior performance.
In 2016, the coalition launched a devastating strike, consisting mainly of regular U.S. and Russian troops, and the main cities of ISIS were liberated. However, the ISOF did not disband, but continued to hunt down the remnants of ISIS, known to local residents as the "Black Flag Force," in rural Iraq. Their heroic actions culminated in the eradication of thousands of terrorists and the remnants of ISIS.
The rise of the ISOF is a model of military power in the Middle East. They proved that with good training, high-quality equipment and a high degree of military literacy, the Middle East can also produce world-class elite troops. In the future, the Iraqi government has plans to continue to expand ISOF to 5,000-8,000 people, which will also provide opportunities to U.S. arms dealers. After decades of war, the ISOF has emerged as an important force in maintaining Iraq's national security.
In summary, Iraqi special forces have shown resilience and rise on the battlefield in the Middle East, not only defeating ISIS, but also making outstanding contributions to Iraq's national security. Their loyalty and courage have made them one of the world's most respected military powers, while also proving the Middle East's potential in the military field. In the future, the ISO will continue to play an important role in safeguarding Iraq's national security.
