Iraqi SWAT teams
Military Police, April, 2005
Iraq, with help from US trainers, plans to have special weapons and tactics (SWAT) teams in each of 20 major Iraqi cities. Teams have already served as quick reaction forces during the January national elections. The Basra SWAT team was also a major player in a successful raid on an improvised explosive device factory in that city.
Four weeks of specialized training cover basic human relations, police conduct, weapons training, mechanical breaching procedures, and close-quarters combat. The final week focuses on specialties like sniper operations, offensive driving, and surveillance techniques.
Seven teams have been trained and equipped and two more are in training, according to officials at the Multinational Security Transition Command-Iraq.
