The last course was still taught by Iraqi instructors. Dutch instructors and coalition as well have looked at what could be better. The classes are smaller and the training is streamlined by deleting things that rarely occur in practice, as the descend by rope from a helicopter. Colleagues in the capital give a sniper course. In the northern Iraqi Erbil region, Dutch troops are leading Kurdish Peshmerga in the fight against ISIS.
