CHARACTERIZING THE IRAQI ENEMY Four Main Groups Former Regime Elements Terrorists, Extremists, & Foreign Fighters Shia Oppositionists Criminals: weapons marketing, smuggling, & kidnappings Common Objective: Coalition failure Destabilize Interim Iraqi Government Divergent Objectives: Former regime elements seek to regain power Extremists & terrorists desire an Islamic State Enemy will continue attacks and escalate violence through the election period.

    21. THREAT: EXTREMIST MOVEMENT Disguised as a return to Fundamental (Salafist) Islam Plays upon humiliation, blame, and need to restore Islamic glory (Arab-Israeli War defeat, OEF and OIF losses were due to religiously corrupt leaders; West seeks to destroy Islam) Continued progressive messages by terrorist leaders about blame and who is responsible for Muslim oppression Saudi regime, U.S., Israel, Allies of U.S. and secular regional regimes Extremists use blame, hatred, & perverted interpretation of Islam to recruit & justify global terrorism Messages emphasize that West is attacking Islam, therefore it is the religious duty of all to fight to save Islam Genuine ideological movement Powerful motivations of revenge, power, and control

SUMMARY

    30. CENTCOM AOR WAY AHEAD

    31. WHAT I NEED FROM YOU Pre/post deployment processing Immunization currency Medical screening military and civilian. Training train the way you fight! Shortfalls OK timing of shortfalls not OK! Trained as a Service unit but deployed as a Joint unit: interchangeable vs. interoperable Send A Team! Keep your head in the fight!

    32. WHAT DO YOU NEED FROM ME? CENTCOM AOR Guidance: http://recluse.centcom.smil.mil/ccsg Honest validation of Joint Medical Requirements QUESTIONS?

    33. Do not try to do too much with your own hands. Better the Arabs do it tolerably than you do it perfectly. It is their war, and you are here to help them, not to win it for them. Actually, also, under the very odd conditions of Arabia, your practical work will not be as good as, perhaps, you think it is. It may take them longer and it may not be as good as you think, but if it is theirs, it will be better
