The careful evaluation of Operation "Iraqi Freedom" will take some more time. Much longer, however, will the discussion continue as to which conclusions have to be drawn for the planning process in the defense ministries. But this analysis is imperative, particularly for the Bundeswehr. Taking a look at Operation "Telic", i.e. the employment of the British forces in Iraq, may be helpful here as the German and British armed forces are rather comparable with regard to size and structure and also in respect to their alliance capability.
