Iraqi Army trains staff officers on operational planning
Multi-National Division – North PAO

Mosul, Iraq – Staff officers from the 2nd Iraqi Army Division participated in a training event  Monday to improve their ability to coordinate and plan military operations.

The training is part of an ongoing program the 2nd IA Div. Military Transition Team and the IA unit started last month. The MiTT Soldiers and Iraqi National Military Advisors are working with the division’s staff officers to improve their ability to develop courses of action, plan and produce warning orders and detailed operations orders.

The MiTT recognized that everybody on the staff was doing great things, but they needed some guidance on how to put it all together, said Capt. Matthew Lovell, one of the training instructors with the 2nd IA MiTT.

The training “improved their organizational skills, information management and orders productions,” Lovell said. We discuss our doctrine and they “use what they need and are building their own products.”
