This Force is particularly in the war against ISIS(Haji Yousefi Joneidi, 2018:293).This force, which includes various sections, was formed in 2014 after the fall of important cities such as Mosul and Tikrit, by the Islamic State and welcomed by the people; government support and political forces were also formed, and the Islamic Republic of Iran, at the request of the Iraqi government, played a significant role In pursuit, formation and development of its power (Darwishi Vatan Khah, 2017: 9)
