Iraqi Counter Terrorism Service teams, instructed by the Italian Special Operations Forces, conducted a final rappelling exercise for their course graduation at CTS Academia (which is the training branch of Iraq's Counter Terrorism System), near Baghdad, Iraq. CTS Teams rappelled out of a training tower while extracting wounded personnel and rehearse how to secure the perimeter of the structure. 15 personnel undertook the training for 12 days. Academia serves as the focal point of training for Iraq's Special Operations Forces. (U.S. Army photos by Sgt. Cambrin Bassett)
