Austin Bay Blog » Iraqi National Guard Merges With Iraqi Army The original concept of the national guard was to have a modest military ability, largely to help at a local level, without adding those formations to a regular army that might become tempted to carry out a coup. But training and equipping the national guard is fraught with challenges, and converting its units into army forces is a calculated gamble, some American officials say. But in fighting the current insurgency, the level of force that even a well-trained guard unit can deliver is inadequate in the view of some field commanders and some Iraqi officials who are pressing for a greatly increased military ability. www.austinbay.net /blog/index.php?p=87
