From the start of operations in Iraq in March 2003 until mid-2009, ground troops
from thirty-seven countries fought at the side of U.S. forces, with many more
providing indirect support and assistance. These countries furnished significant
military aid to the United States Army and performed vital missions relevant to
combat, intelligence, reconstruction, and support operations. The participation
of these coalition partners proved critical to the success of the overall
mission. Allied Participation in Operation Iraqi Freedom examines the
achievements and contributions of the allied nations that supplied ground troops
to the U.S.-led coalition in Iraq during 2003-2009. It does not cover forces
deployed to Iraq under the aegis of the United Nations or the North Atlantic
Treaty Organization. The U.S. military's experience in Operation IRAQI FREEDOM
reconfirms the necessity of coalition building in modern warfare, even when the
U.S. Army and Marine Corps ground forces shoulder the largest burden. This
monograph offers separate sections on each coalition ally and presents basic
information about deployed military forces and their general operational
experiences in Iraq. It also provides a framework for more detailed histories to
follow.
