Field Report: Iraq in Transition

As the draw-down of U.S. forces in Iraq continues, the international community, the U.S., and Iraqis alike are collectively taking stock of accomplishments in the region. What real progress has been made and what challenges do we continue to face in theater? What can we expect from Iraqi forces, and what role will U.S. forces maintain following eventual withdrawal? As part of a continuing series of Field Reports featuring returning combatant commanders, the Defense Education Forum (DEF), and the Institute for the Study of War (ISW) will host an off-the-record discussion with LTG Charles Jacoby Jr. LTG Jacoby was the commanding General I Corps, US Army from June 2007 - June 2010. Jacoby also returns from his recent command of Multi-National Corps-Iraq where he was deployed from April 2009 - March 2010. During which time he oversaw the withdrawal of U.S. forces from major cities, the planning of the continued draw-down, and security surrounding the March parliamentary elections. LTG Jacoby is currently the nominee for Director of the Joint Staff.
