Continued Success Leads To Facility Reconstruction
The efforts to rebuild Iraq were previously an operation that was funded and provided for exclusively by the Coalition. Now, slowly the focus has shifted from a series of operations that are done by the coalition, to a situation where the Coalition has shifted into being a support organization.
The last 18 months have identified a lot of different Iraqi facilities and areas that need to be rebuilt. As they have been identified, the ability of rebuilding efforts on the part of the Iraqi government has grown.
Now, the rebuilding has succeeded in shifting to a long term Iraqi led effort that is Iraqi led, and Iraqi driven.
