Germany army continues training Kurdish Peshmerga forces

(2 Oct 2014) The German army was training Kurdish forces known as 'peshmerga' outside Irbil on Thursday after a shipment of weapons from the Germany military reached the Kurdish capital earlier this week. On a Kurdish military base near the city, German soldiers were teaching peshmerga soldiers how to use the G3 rifle, a weapon never used by the Kurdish soldiers before. German military Spokesman Major Florian R, whose full name has been withheld for security reasons, said the training started on Wednesday. Twenty peshmerga soldiers are receiving the training, for two weeks. After that, further batches of twenty soldiers will receive two-week training. Peshmerga soldiers trained by the Germans will also instruct their fellow Kurds. Germany made the decision to aid Kurdish fighters battling Islamic State militants in Iraq at the end of August. The US and Western allies including Britain, France, Germany and the Netherlands have committed to arming the Kurds, agreeing to send machine guns, assault rifles and ammunition.
