Iraqi Security Forces Protect Iraq
Iraq Fact of the Day
Professionally-trained Iraqi security forces are playing an active role in protecting their country. During the last 48 hours, for example, soldiers in the Iraqi Civil Defense Corps conducted thirteen independent patrols, resulting in the capture of several suspected insurgents. With more and more Iraqis eager to serve, Iraq's security forces now exceed 170,000 -- more than the number of Coalition forces serving in Iraq.
