The ICTF (50 personnel) was initially trained by Jordanian
SOF at their special operations training compound in Jordan. The
training in Iraq continued by B/2/3 CIF and later A/1/5 CIF.
C/1/10 would also be involved in the training of the ICTF in
later years.
Saga of the Shoothouse. On or about 2004 a shoot house was
built on the ICTF compound at Baghdad International Airport
(BIAP). It was used to train the ICTF in close quarter battle or
CQB. It was burned down during a training event (the use of
tracers is usually discouraged in wooden shoothouses) and later
rebuilt.
