国民動員軍 (イラク)
Also known as PMU, Al-Hashd al-Shaabi, PMF, People's Mobilization Committee, PMC, Popular Mobilization Units
The Popular Mobilization Forces, also known as the Popular Mobilization Units (PMU), is an Iranian-backed paramilitary umbrella group that operates within Iraq. Although formally and legally part of the Iraqi Armed Forces and reporting directly to the prime minister, PMF leaders act independently from state control, and in practice, answer to the supreme leader of Iran.
