Pesmerge Forces

The Peshmerga (Kurdish: پێشمەرگه, romanized: Pêşmerge, lit. 'those who face death') is the Kurdish military forces of the autonomous Kurdistan Region of Iraq. The history of Peshmerga dates back to the 18th century, starting out as a strictly tribal pseudo-military border guard under the Ottomans and Safavids and later changing to a well-trained, disciplined guerrilla force in the 19th century. The Peshmerga forces operate in Kurdistan as the official Kurdish military force. Subsidiaries in Peshmerga include Asayish (intelligence agency), Parastin u Zanyarî (assisting intelligence agency) and the ######## (Gendarmerie).
