Army Special Forces (القوات الخاصة للجيش)
Iraqi Army Special Forces operate under the Army Special Operations Command (ASOC). They are distinct from CTS (Counter-Terrorism Service) — a distinction that matters for both selection and mission. ASOC units have received US Special Operations Forces training and advisory support, including through Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force (CJSOTF) Iraq. Their operational record includes direct action, raids, and high-value target operations during the ISIS campaign. The path from conventional Iraqi Army infantry to Army Special Forces selection is demanding; attrition is high. Candidates should understand that "special forces" in Iraq covers a hierarchy from ASOC (army-level) to CTS (the most capable), and that the training pipeline, equipment quality, and operational mission set differ meaningfully between them.
