8,000 G36 and 8,000 G3 assault rifles were donated by the German government to the peshmerga, along with 6 million pieces of ammunition for the weapons.

The training is part of a four week long package, the first to be held with a complete peshmerga battalion, run by coalition forces mobile training teams (MTT) in Kurdistan with the aim to make the peshmerga more efficient in combatting the Islamic State. Photo credit: Matt Cetti-Roberts/LNP
