Withdrawing from Iraq: Alternative Schedules, Associated Risks, and Mitigating Strategies
Rand National Defense Research Institute, August 2009, online edition, 208p (PDF)
"Since 2007, security has improved dramatically in Iraq. The U.S. and Iraqi governments — and most Iraqis — want to see both the U.S. presence there reduced and the Iraqi government and security forces assuming a greater role in providing for public security. The challenge is to effect this drawdown while preserving security and stability in the country and in the region. In response to tasking from the U.S. Congress, RAND researchers conducted an independent study to examine drawdown schedules, risks, and mitigating strategies."
