Multi-National Force – Iraq

The Multi-National Force – Iraq (MNF–I), often referred to as the Coalition forces, was a U.S.-led military <a href="/facts/Command_(military_formation)/kJAeWBH5">command</a> during the <a href="/facts/Iraq_War/dlAgf8at">Iraq War</a> from 2004 to 2009. 
The vast majority of MNF-I was made up of United States Army forces. However it also supervised British, Australian, Polish, Spanish, and other countries' forces. It replaced the previous force, <a href="/facts/Combined_Joint_Task_Force_7/qW3wKQbn">Combined Joint Task Force 7</a>, on 15 May 2004. It was significantly reinforced during the <a href="/facts/Iraq_War_troop_surge_of_2007/P8e8CJ7R">Iraq War troop surge of 2007</a>. MNF-I was reorganized into its successor, <a href="/facts/United_States_Forces_%E2%80%93_Iraq/T95vcKuC">United States Forces – Iraq</a>, on 1 January 2010. 
The <a href="/facts/United_Nations_Assistance_Mission_for_Iraq/FXxGtEE6">United Nations Assistance Mission for Iraq</a>, which does humanitarian work and has a number of guards and military observers, has also operated in Iraq since 2003. The U.N. Assistance Mission in Iraq was not a part of the MNF-I, but a separate entity. The <a href="/facts/NATO_Training_Mission_%E2%80%93_Iraq/xjo9DbXh">NATO Training Mission – Iraq</a>, was in Iraq from 2004 to December 2011, where it trained the <a href="/facts/Iraqi_Army/GfjLkB45">Iraqi Army</a> and the <a href="/facts/Iraqi_Police/BXceYGnu">Iraqi Police</a>.
