BAGHDAD - The NATO Training Mission-Iraq Deputy Commander, Maj. Gen. Claudio Angelelli, visited the three Iraqi Security Forces Operation Centres where he discussed the Iraqi Self-Sustainability issues with their leaders Oct. 10 and 11.
The three Iraqi Security Forces Operation Centres are located at the Prime Ministers compound, Minister of Interior and Minster of Defence. These Operations Centres reached Full Operational Capability earlier this year.
“With your Operations Centres now operating at full capability, NATO intends to progressively redirect dedicated personnel away from supporting them. This is a real sign of tangible success for NTM-I and progress towards self-sustainment for the Iraqi Security Forces,” said General Angelelli.
“Of course, we will remain available to provide support and advice as necessary and access to out-of-country training courses will help further to deepen Iraqi capability and expertise in strategic Command and Control,” continued the NATO general.
“The NTM-I work is very important for the Operation Centre,” said Mr. Hussein Mohammed Abdul, the general director of the Prime Minister’s Operation Center.”
“NATO trained our people how to face different problems and issues, and how to react upon them; we are really grateful for this”, continued Abdul.
During this meeting, both, the NATO and Iraqi leaders agreed to conduct an additional meeting between General Angelelli and the Prime Minister’s office to discuss the future cooperation post 2011.
Additionally, Maj. Gen. Mordhi Abdulaimi, Ministry of Defence Joint Operation Centre director, discussed with General Angelelli the major activities scheduled in regards to the Self-Sustainability to include a training exercise which is planned for the near future.
“[With] these activities we can create a new link of our relationship,” he said.
