For the past year, Iraqi forces have been taking on challenges from insurgents and terrorist in Iraq. They have proven successful in their battles, and now with the help of US and British troops, they are being prepared to take over the job of the US and British forces. The ground forces are being trained for combat, and most recently the logistics of the army are now being worked on. The center of this is hoped to be stationed in Taji, north of Baghdad.
The US has started to take hundreds of their broken down humvees, and refurbish them for the Iraqi army use. Once running, the humvees are handed over to Iraqi forces, and are then painted beige for the army, and white for the police, with the flag of Iraq painted on it's sides.
All this activity is preparation for the Iraqi army and their new Airforce to take over once US-led troops withdraw sometime around the end of the year 2011.
