Two Iraqi Coastal Defense Force sailors prepare to get underway at the official launching of the ICDF Sept. 30, 2004 in Umm Qasr. The training of the ICDF began in January using a combination of instructors from the multinational forces including the British navy and marines, the U.S. Navy, the Australian navy, and the Netherlands navy. With a total force of 412 personnel the ICDF is slightly more than 100 percent manned, with their original goal set at 409. Training included courses on basic seamanship, fire-fighting, and boarding operations.
