while operation new dawn brought a shift in mission for many of the remaining forces in iraq, the 321st aew and itam-air force were poised to continue their mission to train, mentor, advise and assist the iraqi air force (iqaf) to develop into a professional and credible regional airpower partner. when the iraqi ministry of defense (iqmod) made the decision to split fixed-wing and rotary-wing operations in late 2010, the iraqi army aviation command (iqaac) was created. because u.s. airmen continued to advise for both iqaf and iqaac, the name was changed from itam-air force to itam-air and addressed the fully comprehensive scope of training.
