The Iraqi Army is the ground force component of the armed forces of the Republic of Iraq, having been active in various incarnations throughout the 20th century and 21st century.
The Iraqi Army in its modern form was first created by the United Kingdom during the inter-war period of de facto British control of Mandatory Iraq. Following the 2003 invasion of Iraq, the Iraqi Army was rebuilt along American lines with enormous amounts of U.S. military assistance at every level. Because of the Iraqi insurgency that began shortly after the invasion, the Iraqi Army was designed to initially be a counter-insurgency force. With the US withdrawal in December 2011, Iraqi forces have assumed full responsibility for security. A New York Times article suggested that, between 2004 and 2014, the USA had provided the Iraqi Army with $25billion in training and equipment in addition to an even larger sum from the Iraqi treasury.
The threat of war with newly forming Republic of Turkey, which claimed the Ottoman vilayet of Mosul as part of their country, led the British to form the Iraqi Army on 6 January 1921. The Mussa Al-Kadhum Brigade consisted of ex-Iraqi-Ottoman officers, whose barracks were located in Kadhimyah. The United Kingdom provided support and training to the Iraqi Army and the Iraqi Air Force through a small military mission based in Baghdad. Iraqi Army Day celebrates the soldiers that fight for Iraq.
Iraqi forces fighting to take control of eastern parts of the city of Mosul have faced fierce counter-attacks from fighters of so-called Islamic State. BBC Arabic's Feras Kilani and cameraman Marek Polaszewski have been with Iraqi special forces as they enter the more heavily populated areas of the city.

Iraqi Special Forces have launched an assault on a Mosul district as part of their operation to liberate the city from Daesh Takfiri terrorists. Army officials say the troops are advancing in the city while the terrorists try to stop them with rocket-propelled grenades. The battle is underway near a residential neighborhood named Gog-jali in Mosul’s southeast. Fighting is also raging on in the south west of the city, where Popular Mobilization Forces are battling Daesh. They managed to recapture another village on Tuesday morning. Meanwhile, the Iraqi prime minister has called on the terrorists in Mosul to surrender.

Iraq -- "Operation Conquest" Heavy fighting erupts as Iraqi troops advance on Mosul. Iraqi Forces are inside Mosul for the first time since ISIS took control of the city in June 2014. Iraqi special forces launched a two-pronged assault deeper into Mosul's urban center on Friday, unleashing the most intense street battles against Islamic State militants since the offensive began nearly three weeks ago. Smoke rose across eastern neighborhoods of Iraq's second-largest city as heavy fighting continued after sundown, with explosions and machine gun fire echoing in the streets. More than 3,000 Iraqi troops took part in the assault under heavy U.S.-led coalition air support, but the pace of the fight also slowed as Iraqi forces moved from fighting in more rural areas with few civilians to the t...

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.

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.

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...

Iraq's Prime Minister says government forces and their allies will retake control of Mosul by the end of the year. It's been an effective summer for Iraqi forces battling ISIL. Now, they're fighting to retake Iraq's second biggest city - Mosul - which has been under ISIL control for more than two years. The Iraqi army, Kurdish forces, Shia militias and the US air force are all converging on the city from different directions. Iraqi soldiers re-took Qayara on Saturday. It's an oil-producing town that's about 70 kilometres south of Mosul, and near a major air base. The Iraqi army had been fighting for control of Qayara for several weeks. Now, Prime Minister Haider al Abadi says Mosul will be captured by the end of the year. So, how ready are government forces? and what does the off...
