Organisation
Mission and Tasks
The NTM-I mission has always been fundamentally concerned with structures and institutions – building and developing enduring, national self-sustaining capabilities in the Iraqi Security Forces. Furthermore, NTM-I has always been a relatively small, tactical size organisation, with limited resources but one that has had a strategic impact on Iraq.
Mission statement
Provide training and assistance to the Iraqi Security Forces in order to contribute to the development of Iraqi training structures and institutions, so that Iraq can continue to build effective and sustainable multi-ethnic security forces which address the security needs of the Iraqi people.
Organisation
NTM-I comprises three divisions, supporting three main lines of activity:
-
