WMD Weapon of Mass Destruction

1. Introduction The Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s (DTRA) Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD) – Proliferation Prevention Program (PPP) is partnering with the Government of Iraq (GoI) Ministry of Interior (MoI) Iraqi Border Guard Forces (IBGF) to improve their capabilities to deter, detect, and interdict illicit trafficking of WMD, WMD components, WMD-related materials, dual-use materials and related equipment/technology within and across their international borders.

1.1 Background

DTRA WMD-PPP implemented a previous project in Iraq (Project Levant, completed March 31, 2023), which focused on procuring heavy engineering equipment to assist with physical construct of Iraq’s borders with Syria. PPP also worked with the IBGF to establish an internal training program focused on border security operations and analysis, to detect and deter transnational proliferation of WMD and dual-use materials and technology.

1.2 Scope and Objectives

The focus of Iraq Border Security Project (IBSP) Phase I is to improve the capabilities of the GoI’s identified Implementing Agent (IA), the IBGF, to deter, detect, and interdict WMD, WMD components, WMD-related materials, dual-use materials and related equipment/technology proliferating Iraq’s contiguous border with Syria. The focus will be on providing a border surveillance capability (Iraq Border Security Solution (IBSS), IBSS operations and maintenance training, equipment procurement and delivery, equipment-related training, and technical and operational concept of operations (CONOPS). The delivery these objectives will enhance the IBGF’s capabilities in command and control, communications, surveillance, WMD detection, interdiction, and ensure the IBGF can sustain and build upon these capabilities for the long-term.

The primary recipient of assistance under this project is the IBGF. Any DTRA assistance will be closely coordinated with other related United States Government (USG) and international donor programs to avoid duplication of effort and conflicting approaches.
