| has gloss | eng: * Special Operations Task Forces There is a distinction in United States military terms between the troops of Multinational Force-Iraq and forces which fall directly under CENTCOMs control but are in Iraq also. There are two special operations task forces operating in Iraq, Task Force 77 and CJSOTF-AP. Though TF 77, a black' force, does not answer to MNF-Iraq, it is included here for the sake of completeness of the U.S. forces operating within Iraq. TF 77 is under the command of the Joint Special Operations Command and its principal mission is to hunt down the leaders of al Qaeda in Iraq. |
