Multinational Force Iraq

The Multinational Force Iraq (MNF-I) is the official name for the coalition of nations, led by the United States, who are fighting in the Iraq War. The media often refers to it as the 'U.S. led coalition'. The MNF-I conducts offensive operations to defeat non-compliant forces and neutralize situation in Iraq, in an attempt to create a secure environment. The MNF-I is broken into six units of operations spread throughout Iraq.

The United States makes up 93% of the troops in the Iraq War. The MNF-I replace the previous force, Combined Joint Task Force, on May 15, 2004. In the initial invasion of Iraq between March 19 and May 1 of 2003, three other countries actively participated along with the U.S. Those countries are the United Kingdom, Australia and Poland. Currently, over 25 countries have troops in Iraq.
