Stabilizing the Country
The top priority for Coalition partners is to stabilize Iraq from insurgents and
terrorist activities. Activities are underway that provide basic law and order
using Coalition forces, defeat internal armed threats, undermine support for
paramilitaries and their actions against peace, deter external aggression and
subversion, and eliminate munitions caches, unexploded ordinance and excess
military equipment.
The Iraqi people are already contributing to the security effort and will
ultimately assume full responsibility for meeting the country’s security and
defense needs. Significant gains are being made through development and training
of Iraqi security forces, including an effective police force, a new Iraqi army,
specialized protection forces and a civil defense corps. Similarly, the
development of civilian national security oversight mechanisms and
infrastructure ensures that the military and paramilitary resources work with
respect for the rights of Iraqi citizens and bias towards none.
