Iraqi security forces (ISF) is a term used by the United States Department of Defense (DoD) to describe law enforcement and military forces of the federal government of the Republic of Iraq.
The ISF consists of the following agencies and departments:
Security Forces is an umbrella term frequently used to describe statutory organisations with military, paramilitary, or internal security mandates. In the legal context of several nations, the term has variously denoted police and military units working in concert, or the predominant role of non-conventional agencies (such as gendarmerie) in the external and internal provision of public security.
Examples of formally designated security forces include:
In 2014, Islamic State militants swept into Western Iraq's Anbar Province, overrunning Iraqi security forces, enslaving minorities, and causing thousands to flee for their lives. The jihadist group captured Iraq’s largest city, Mosul, and the cities of Ramadi and Fallujah, where hundreds of US troops died fighting the Islamic State’s predecessor. Now, two years later, the Iraqi security forces, with help from Iranian-supported Shiite militias and US military advisors and warplanes, are fighting to take back towns and cities in Anbar, one battle at a time. But it’s a difficult task: Anbar has been the crucible of Iraq’s insurgency, and is the country’s Sunni heartland — long marginalized by and hostile to the Shiite-led government in Baghdad.

Iraqi security forces recaptured a large part of the city of Ramadi this week in one of their most significant military victories over the Islamic State (IS) to date. Backed by warplanes from the US-led coalition, Baghdad's troops have been fighting to secure territory around Ramadi, the capital of Iraq’s vast western province of Anbar, since it fell to IS in May. VICE News embedded with Iraq’s Special Operations Forces, also known as the Golden Division, who have been leading operations to recapture the city.

RAMADI, IRAQ — The media channel of a Shia militia in Ramadi, Iraq has released a video showing Iraqi security forces clearing a house from bottom to top. Yesterday we brought you the news of Iraqi forces raising their flag over the central government building in Ramadi. The city fell to ISIS in May, but after weeks of intense fighting, the Iraqi government has recaptured the city. However, the city still needs to be cleared of retreating ISIS fighters. This dramatic video from the frontlines of Ramadi shows Iraqi forces going door to door to secure the city. The next step in the fight to reclaim ISIS-held territories is already in the works. Air strikes lead the way in Fallujah and Mosul. Iraqi security forces are in position around Fallujah, a city that is more densely populated t...
Iraqi security forces repelled an ISIS attack on Ramadi city center, in the Anbar province of Iraq, Tuesday.

Iraqi forces have liberated the center of Fallujah and continue advancing to the last remaining north districts ISIS has run to. The city is expected to be fully liberated in the coming few days now that the center of the city and most well defended part has been liberated.
Fighting is raging between al Qaeda-backed militants and Iraq's security forces for control of two key cities in the embattled Anbar province, even as a deal was in place with Sunni tribesmen to fight alongside Iraqi police against the militant group. The renewed violence in the Sunni province has raised concern about the stability of the government amid dueling claims by the terror group and security forces over who was in control of Falluja and Ramadi. The Iraqi civil war never really ended it just went off the boil for a while. Last year, the heat was turned back to high, with the number of civilian deaths from political violence doubling to roughly 8,000 people over the previous year, the highest civilian death toll since at least 2008. Security forces backed by tanks on battled mil...
I am making 4 or so videos of our time in training and in Balad, Iraq. It was a pretty fun time there, and we did outside the wire missions with the Army doing Patrols. Our squadron was the 532nd ESFS and we did Quick Response Force missions. I would like to hear what you think of it, although if you sit there and start making some arguements of the war, I will just delete the comment. Thank you and p.s. all these videos are of us, not another squadron or team Songs: 1. Where is my Mind- by Pixies 2. Illumination- by GOGOL BORDELLO

As Iraqi troops gear up to retake the city of Mosul from Islamic State, coalition officials say up to 45-thousand troops will be needed to remain in the city after its recapture to maintain security. As VOA Pentagon correspondent Carla Babb reports, the push for the city center could be as soon as two weeks away, after Iraqi security forces complete one last training program.

Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has pledged to liberate the flashpoint city of Mosul from Daesh Takfiri terrorists. He says the victory is near. Abadi made the remarks in a radio address to residents of the city which has been under Daesh occupation since 2014. Abadi also called on Mosul residents to cooperate with the Iraqi security forces. Iraq has not announced a date for the start of the operation to retake the city, but Western officials have indicated it could begin this month. The United Nations has warned that nearly one million people could be displaced by the clashes. There are also fears that the takfiri terrorists will use civilians as human shields to hinder the Iraqi forces’ advance. Watch Live: http://www.presstv.com/live.html Twitter: http://twitter.com/P...

For his part, secretary General of Badr organisation, Hadi al-Ameri stressed after a meeting with Peshmerga leaders, that Hashed forces are ready to cooperate with the Peshmerga and tribesmen of Kirkuk province to liberated the district of Hawijah from Daesh control.
Iraqi security forces have retaken control of a government compound in Shirqat from ISIL militants, as a stepping stone in the campaign to recapture the armed group’s stronghold of Mosul. The operation was launched on Tuesday, backed by mostly Shiite paramilitary and air support from the US-led coalition. Shirqat lies some 280 kilometers north of the Iraqi capital of Baghdad. Tens of thousands of civilians are thought to have been trapped in Shirqat and its surrounding villages, which have been under ISIL control since the group seized a third of Iraqi territory in 2014. CCTV’s Michal Bardavid reports on the victory.

EXCLUSIVE: VICE News Meets Barack Obama: http://bit.ly/1wT03Bi Last summer, the group known as the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) swept from Syria into northern Iraq, routing Iraqi security forces and seizing the city of Mosul. Soon afterward, the group declared the establishment of a dubious "caliphate" in the area it controls and rebranded itself the Islamic State. With Iraq's army weakened and radical militants advancing on Baghdad, the country's Iran-backed Shia militias — which have their own history of sectarian abuses — fought back, halting the Islamic State's progress. The militias have successfully combated Islamic State fighters on the ground with the assistance of air strikes from a US-led military coalition. But their growing influence within Iraq's government amid acc...
In the late 20th Century the distinction between soldier and mercenary became blurred. The recent use of private military companies (PMCs) in Iraq has been more extensive than at any time in modern history. The brutal killing of four PMC employees in Fallujah in April 2004 made it clear that these “contractors” are not merely workers in a foreign land. But are the lives of such men the only thing at risk when we privatize warfare? Shadow Company explores the moral and ethical issues private military solutions create for PMC employees, for the Western governments who foot the bill for their salaries, and for everyday citizens like you. The filmmakers traveled the globe to expose all sides of the issue, interviewing PMC staff, owners and lobbyists, former mercenaries, academics, journalists...
Ruptly will provide LIVE from the outskirts of Fallujah on Tuesday, May 31, as Iraqi armed forces attempt to advance into the city, which was captured by the so-called Islamic State [IS, formerly ISIS/ISIL] in 2014. The military forces of the Iraqi government initially launched the operation to retake the IS-held city of Fallujah on May 23, following an announcement by the Iraqi Prime Minister Haider Al-Abadi. Fallujah, about 40 miles (78 km) west of Baghdad, was the first Iraqi city to be taken by IS in January 2014. Up to 75,000 civilians have been trapped inside the city, caught between the IS and armed forces, including the Iraqi army and allied militias. Iraqi security forces repeated calls for civilians in Fallujah to flee on May 22, but locals say they have been unable to escape. De...
