The Iraqi people, the Governing Council and the Coalition all agree that Iraqis must play the main role in ending the current insecurity.

The Coalition seeks a sensible division of labor between Iraqis and Coalition Forces until the day when Iraqis alone keep the streets safe from criminals and terrorists. We would like to form a security partnership with the people of Iraq .

Right now there are 60,000 Iraqis involved in security work and Iraqi security forces of all kinds are growing larger and stronger every day. The first battalion of the New Iraqi Army is already on duty. The next battalion started training two weeks ago. By next summer, the New Iraqi Army will have 27 battalions. In addition, Iraqis are working in the Civil Defense Corps and the Facilities Protection Service.
