U.S. Forces-Iraq stands up in Baghdad: "A New Year's Day ceremony here marked another evolution of Operation Iraqi Freedom, as several major command groups merged into a single headquarters command, U.S. Forces-Iraq.
'This ceremony marks another significant transition here in Iraq,' said Army Gen. David H. Petraeus, commander of U.S. Central Command. 'It represents another important milestone in the continued drawdown of American forces.'"
