U.S. Drawdown Moves to Second Phase in Iraq

摘要

Multi-National Corp-Iraq (MNC-I) is in the second phase of drawdown operations to reduce the number of personnel, equipment, and bases in Iraq.rnLieutenant Colonel Tammie Pettit, MNC-I logistics planner, outlined how the drawdown started and will continue at an MNC-I conference at Camp Victory, Iraq, on 15 August. Nonessential equipment was identified during phase 1. In phase 2, that equipment is being retrograded, transferred, and redirected where U.S. and Iraqi forces need them. In phase 3, the focus will be on safety operations such as route security, additional drawdown, and support for redeploying units.
