On Wednesday, the coalition provided another batch of Humvees to the Kurdistan Region's Peshmerga forces.

The Humvees were supplied to the Kurdistan Region Ministry of Peshmerga Ministry units and infantry brigades.

Also, on Feb. 25, US Colonel Patrick Douglas and Peshmerga officials visited the general logistics directorate of the Ministry of Peshmerga to investigate what specific equipment the ministry requires.

The Ministry of Peshmerga regularly receives assistance from the coalition. The assistance usually comes in the form of ammunition and vehicles provided through the US Department of Defense (DoD)-funded Counter-ISIS Train and Equip Fund (CTEF) program.
