    If you read the list for participating units, there is the DOD Security forces and I have no idea who or what they are. I googled them and couldn't find anything. Any Help? Thanks

    Yes, I was correct.

    In December, 2006, in Iraq there were thought to be at least 100,000 contractors working directly for the United States Department of Defense which is a tenfold increase in the use of private contractors for military operations since the Persian Gulf War, just over a decade earlier.

    No doubt they were contractors, but the article specefically mentions "Department Of Defense Security Forces, Tactical Response Team". This is something new to me. Does anyone have any information on this group?
