Two new military commands will stand up in Iraq May 15, replacing the current coalition military organization.
Multinational Corps Iraq and Multinational Force Iraq will replace Combined Joint Task Force 7.

...Multinational Corps Iraq will focus on the tactical fight -- the day-to-day military operations and the maneuvering of the six multinational divisions on the ground. Army Lt. Gen. Thomas F. Metz will command the corps.

..Multinational Force Iraq will focus on more strategic aspects of the military presence in Iraq...talking with sheiks and political leaders...training, equipping and fielding Iraqi security forces. Army Lt. Gen. Ricardo S. Sanchez, current CJTF 7 commander - will head MNF Iraq.
