Iraqi and Kurdish Peshmerga Forces Defense Act of 2023

This bill requires the U.S. Secretary of Defense to create a plan by February 2024 to equip and train Iraqi security forces and Kurdish Peshmerga forces with air defense systems to counter missile, rocket, and drone attacks. The plan must include providing specific equipment and training for these forces, with implementation beginning 90 days after the plan's approval, unless a waiver is granted for U.S. military readiness concerns. The Secretary must also report progress to Congress by July 2024. The bill directly affects Iraqi and Kurdish forces by providing them with defensive capabilities against regional threats.
