Coalition soldiers have worked with different groups of Iraqi Security personnel to teach and train them in various methods of security procedures. The foot patrols and security checkpoints are manned increasingly by Iraqi National Police forces, and the Iraqi Army has been on point working to maintain area security.
There are several recent patrols that have yielded a number of high value suspects.

The Iraqi Army has increased the patrols and number of active checkpoints as they have taken over from the coalition. There are several areas of Baghdad, and slowly they have worked to assume authority over them one by one. There are a number of areas still in coalition control but as the end of the surge draws closer, the Iraqi Army works closely to assume responsibility for additional areas. Nearly 80 percent of the overall security in the south of Baghdad is now under Iraqi Security forces control, and the remaining regions are slowly being transferred.
