Iraqi security forces
The Iraqi Security Forces (ISF)[1] 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. During the Iraq War, these entities received training and instruction from the multinational MNF-I and later on during the war against ISIS, they received further training and assistance from the CJTF-OIR.
