It's an advise and assist function. They have trained certain units up to a very good level and they can then conduct operations on their own, and we've seen the great impact of this. The Mosul operation wouldn't have been possible if it weren't for the great training that was given and the advise and assist function for the peshmerga. Once the operation is complete, we will then do another assessment of where our military needs will be. The goal always, once the success is there, is to do less with the military and start bringing in more of the development and governance work that's going to be absolutely crucial.
