maintaining the territorial integrity of 
Iraq, denying international terrorists a safe 
haven, and bringing greater security to 
Iraq’s 18 provinces in the next 12 to 18

mand, control and intelligence capabilities, 
and logistics capacity of the ISF.

ISF to fulfill the missions outlined in clause 
(i).
