The phenomenon of Iraq's Shia warlords and the militias they lead
has significant implications for the conduct of the war against
Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS), including for U.S. policy
interests and for U.S. Landpower forces deployed in-country. In
this monograph, Dr. Norman Cigar analyzes the rapid resurgence of
the Shia militias and the warlords thanks to a mass popular
mobilization in response to the severe ISIS threat to the country
in 2014. The militias have played a key role in helping to
stabilize the situation on the ground, while the Iraqi Army has
been rebuilding with the help of the international Coalition. At
the same time, the warlords have become significant political
players who have an impact on issues of interest to the United
States, such as sectarian reconciliation and the formation of a
National Guard in Sunni areas, which have implications for the
future of Iraq's security and stability.
