Iraqi Coastal Defense Force sailors perform mooring operations at the 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.
