Taji Location CommandDuring our visit to the Taji National Depot the assessment team inquired about thecurrent use of the airfield and its potential for including fixed wing to increase its use.Senior leaders within the Taji Location Command and U.S. military representativesconfirmed that the airfield was capable of sustaining fixed wing cargo operations, andthat limited Iraqi C-130 aircraft operations had been recently conducted at the airfield.Despite the clear demonstration of the capability to stage and move logistics supplies viafixed wing operations from the airfield, neither the U.S. nor Iraqi Army representativeswe interviewed were aware of any plans for the airfield to be used as a major Aerial Portof Debarkation/Aerial Port of Embarkation hub in support of future Iraqi Army logisticsoperations.The assessment team also noted the existence of a rail spur at Taji that connected to aninternational single track railroad originating in Basra and terminating in Beirut,Lebanon. In addition to use of the airfield for fixed wing, establishing a rail logisticscapability to support Taji, thus coupling air and rail capability, would greatly enhance itscapacity as a strategic and operational logistics distribution hub for the Iraqi Army.Recommendations, Client Comments, and OurResponse10.a. We recommend that Commander, Multi-National Security Transition Command-Iraq, in conjunction with the Iraqi Ministry of Defense and the Iraqi Joint Headquarters,study the feasibility of certifying the Taji Airfield for fixed wing logistics supportoperations to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of logistics distribution for theIraqi Army.Client CommentsCommander, MNSTC-I concurred, reporting that MNF-I had begun efforts to certify TajiAirfield for fixed wing cargo operations. He stated that there were a number of projectsunderway to improve the capability of the airfield to enable fixed wing operations by theend of 2008.Our ResponseCommander, MNSTC-I comments were responsive, and no additional comments arerequired.84
Observation 11. Iraq Ministry of Defense – LogisticsGuidanceCoalition logistics experts have been developing various models of logistics processes tobe followed by the MoD and the IA since 2003. These processes have been developed(mostly modeled on U.S. and western logistics principles) to varying degrees ofspecificity in a series of unofficial draft documents produced in English. Nevertheless,official Iraqi guidance clearly describing the logistics policies, processes, and proceduresfor the MoD and IA had not been formally issued.As a result, the logistics processes and procedures followed within the Iraqi MoD and IAare not standardized, and they are not clearly understood by the Coalition logisticsmentors and trainers whose job it is to assist in the operational and tacticalimplementation of the Iraqi logistics system. The logistics capability development of theMoD and the IA has consequently been delayed.Applicable CriteriaDoD Directive 3000.05. DoDD 3000.05, “Military Support for Stability, Security,Transition, and Reconstruction (SSTR) Operations,” November 28, 2005, providesguidance on stability operations that will evolve over time as joint operating concepts,mission sets, and lessons learned develop and establishes DoD policy and assignsresponsibilities within the DoD for planning, training, and preparing to conduct andsupport stability operations.Draft Ministry of Defense Logistics GuidanceThe assessment team obtained several draft MoD logistics organizational documents,which together detailed a systematic approach for the development of a sustainable IraqiArmy logistics system. All of the “Iraqi” logistics documents we obtained were inEnglish and only a few had Arabic counterparts. We were unable to determine the degreeto which these documents had been formally accepted and adopted as Iraqi MoD standardprocedures. It did appear, however, that despite the absence of official Iraqi documents,the logistics procedures detailed in these draft directives were, in many cases, beingfollowed within the Iraqi MoD and the IA logistics system.• Ministry of Defense Policy Administration – Policy on Writing Policies, 1 Sep2005 (Unsigned draft)• Ministry of Defense Administration – Policy on Asset Accountability andVisibility within the Iraqi Armed Forces, 30 May 2006, (Unsigned draft)• Ministry of Defense Administration – Policy on Distribution within the IraqiArmed Forces, 30 May 2006, (Unsigned draft)• Ministry of Defense Administration – Policy on Supply Management Procedureswithin the Iraqi Armed Forces, 12 Jun 2006, (Unsigned draft)85
