Multi-National Force - Iraq (MNF-I)' is the highest military headquarters for foreign troops in Iraq. At present, it is commanded by a U.S. general, with a British lieutenant general deputy. Prior to the Abu Ghraib prison disclosures and prosecution, the senior headquarters had been #Multi-National Corps-Iraq, and one of the resulting reforms was to create a higher headquarters in Iraq, allowing the MNC-I commander to concentrate on military operations.
