Australian army Sgt. Steven Haywood and Capt. Evan Smith, Task Group Taji trainers, attend a brief at the conclusion of the Iraqi Forward Air Controller Currency Course at Camp Taji, Iraq, July 17, 2018. Iraqi security forces are laying the foundation for the future of Iraq by improving their capabilities in order to provide a secure and stable environment for their nation. The liberation of all territory formerly occupied by ISIS clearly demonstrates that Iraqis are strongest when they stand united.
