Iraqi soldiers enrolled in the Junior Leaders Course, pull security during a bullring training exercise at Camp Taji, Iraq, Feb. 1, 2016. Bullring training exercises provide a variety of scenarios that test the Iraqi soldiers’ combat proficiency. Through advise and assist and build partner capacity missions, the Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve’s multinational Coalition has trained more than 18,000 Iraqi security force personnel to defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL). A Coalition of regional and international nations have joined together to enable Iraqi forces to counter ISIL, reestablish Iraq’s borders and retake lost terrain thereby restoring regional stability and security.
