NATO is developing simulation facilities alongside the Iraqi Armed Forces in a bid to improve the force's training methods and strengthen security.

NATO Mission Iraq (NMI), specifically the Training Development Division (TDD), is tasked with delivering modern training technologies, improving best practices, and supporting the development of training simulators for the Iraqi Armed Forces, the Bundeswehr said on 4 August.

This has involved developing a handgun simulator at the Iraqi Tactical Training and Special Combat School (TTSC) similar to the German armed forces' Sagittarius Evolution capability – a small-arms/handheld anti-tank weapons shooting simulator that supports basic firing and tactical training.

In addition, a new call-for-fire simulator is being procured by the Iraqi Armed Forces, which will teach trainees how to co-ordinate indirect fire and enable them to analyse and assess the effectiveness of artillery strikes.

According to the announcement, the Iraqi Armour School has US M1 Abrams as well as Russian T-72 and T-90 main battle tank trainers.
