Iraqi Special Forces Learn Various Advanced Machine Gun Techniques

Members of Iraqi Special Forces, Qwat al-Khasah al-Iraqi, practice advanced techniques on M-240B machine guns near Baghdad, Iraq, Feb. 2020.

The threat of Daesh attacks remains – and the Iraqi Security Forces continue to aggressively pursue these remnants where they are hiding – such as sleeper cells, caches, temporary camps, finances and key personnel.

The Qwat al-Khasah is an elite fighting force that specializes in raids, seizing, clearing and holding terrain for limited durations and conducting reconnaissance, counter-insurgency or counter terrorism operations.
