Published purpose

This project involves a series of upgrades to the Iraqi Army School of Military Communications (IASMC) located in the Taji Military Complex (TMC) north of Baghdad, Iraq. It seeks to enhance their battlefield communication capabilities and in turn increase the overall operational effectiveness of the Iraqi Army. The implementation of this project aims to increase the number and quality of communications operators the IASMC can train in a calendar year. This increase in capability aims to allow Iraq’s military commanders to exercise greater command and control on the battlefield, support a greater capacity for joint military operations, and increase the Iraqi Security Forces (ISF)’s effectiveness at neutralizing terrorist networks. Project Activities includes: (1) providing an array of upgrades to existing power generation capabilities; and (2) providing new electronic tools, computer systems, and buildings to further expand the school’s capabilities to teach and train battlefield communications skills across the Iraqi Army.
