Iraqi Counter Terrorism Service
The Counter Terrorism Service (CTS; Arabic: جهاز مكافحة الارهاب) is an Iraqi security and intelligence agency tasked with counterterrorism. It is separate from the Ministry of Defence and Ministry of Interior, and is at times described as a quasi-ministerial organisation. It has a two-tiered organizational structure which consists of the CTS headquarters and the Counter Terrorism Command (CTC). The latter commands the Iraqi Special Operations Forces (ISOF; Arabic: قوات العمليات الخاصة العراقية), currently consisting of three brigades based in several governorates. They are often collectively referred to as the Golden Division. They are part of the Iraqi Armed Forces and report directly to the Prime Minister of Iraq. CTS was created in 2007 and is funded by the Ministry of Defence. The Service played a crucial role in combatting terrorism during the war against the Islamic State. ISOF have conducted joint operations with the Green Berets.
