Abstract(s)
The purpose of this paper is to investigate how military training is being
conducted by NATO coalition forces in Iraq. Thus, the intent of this paper is to discuss
the implications of existing misalignments between the military forces that are
providing the training and those receiving it. To that end, we have used an exploratory
case study research, which included multiple sources of data collection for corroboration
and triangulation purposes. The results that emerged from the content analysis
showed two types of outcomes that may be relevant to improve the military training
in Iraq. The first outcome is identified as the intangible actions, which were mainly
focused on social relations, with the intent of narrowing the cultural gap between
the international coalition and Iraqi forces. Without surprising, a second outcome is
identified as tangible actions, which were associated with training programs and the
establishment of tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) relevant to small and
medium military units. Future research should focus on programs of “training the
trainers” in order to develop long-term teaching and move forward with sustainable
Iraqi Security Forces (ISF).
