U.S. Prepares For Mission Changes

BAGHDAD [MENL] -- The U.S. military plans to revise missions and tactics in
Iraq.
Officials said U.S. troops in Iraq would receive new rules of engagement
in wake of the signing of the Status of Forces Agreement. They said the Iraq
Army and security forces would play a lead role in the lion's share of
missions, with the U.S. military providing support.
"[It] will require a subtle shift in how we plan, coordinate and execute
combat missions throughout Iraq," U.S. military commander Gen. Ray Odierno
said.
