Coalition Forces are assessing the QK’s capabilities in order to conduct advise, assist, accompany and enable operations with the unit in the future. Training in Iraq is shifting focus towards Iraqi-delivered training with Coalition mentors. (U.S. Army photo by Staff Sgt. Tom Conning) Photo have been edited for security concerns.
