NCRI - The US Representative
Office of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) today revealed,
from its sources inside Iran, the regime's
sophisticated program of training
foreign mercenaries.
The Quds Force of the IslamicRevolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) has created the Training Directorate,
codenamed '12,000'. Headquartered at the Imam Ali military base, the IRGC
operates dozens of training camps across Iran, specializing in all aspects of
warfare from missile to marine operations. Cadres are divided by nationality as
well as specialization.
The Training Directorate was
approved by Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, on a visit to the Quds Force,
according to a senior adviser to the IRGC commander-in-chief and the
directorate’s former commander, IRGC Brigadier General, Khosrow Orouj.
Every month, hundreds of forces
from Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Afghanistan and Lebanon -- countries where the regime
is involved in frontline combat -- receive military training and are
subsequently dispatched to the various frontlines. For operations in countries
where there is no open warfare - including Persian Gulf countries, such as
Bahrain and Kuwait - terrorists cells are trained instead.
The NCRI today highlighted 14 IRGC
training camps, as well as describing the command structure, stating that the
commander of the Training Directorate, reports directly to Quds Force
Commander, Qassem Soleimani. Terrorist training for operatives from across the
globe is commanded by Colonel Tahmasebi. Codenamed '320', the commander of heavy
weapons training at Imam Ali military base is Colonel Ali Mohammad. In charge
of 'VIP Security' is Colonel Ramky.
The scale of the Training
Directorate is underlined by the fact that just one of its training camps is
currently sending 2,000 Afghans to Syria every week.
IRGC mercenaries are first sent
for ideological indoctrination at the Imam Ali Academy in Tajrish, Tehran. They
are then sent to one of the following:
Imam Ali Garrison - various
Baadindeh Center in Varamin –
urban warfare
Malek Ashtar Camp in Amol –
survival training
Semnan Center –missile training
Lowshan Garrison - special
training
Telecabin Axis – commando
training
Abadan - marine warfare
Ahwaz - marine warfare
Qeshm Axis - marine warfare
Mashhad Center – Afghan forces
Pazouki Garrison – Afghan forces
for Syria
Chamran Garrison - Afghan forces
for Syria
Shahriar Garrison - Afghan forces
for Syria
In addition to the camps
highlighted today, the NCRI stressed that the IRGC operates dozens of other
similar bases and camps: there are many located near the Iran-Iraq frontier, to
enable the Iranian regime to interfere in Iraq's internal affairs.
The IRGC, of which the Quds Force
is part, is the bulwark of the religious dictatorship in Iran, engaging in
domestic repression, external terrorism and nuclear weapons and missile
production, as well as controlling large parts of the Iranian economy.
