The U.S. military is planning a large polling and focus-group operation in Iraq over the next three years to help 'build robust and positive relations with the people of Iraq and to assist the Iraqi people in forming a new government,' according to a proposal seeking private contractors for the program.
The $15 million-a-year initiative will supplement the military's $100 million-a-year strategic communications operation, which aims to produce content for Iraqi media that will 'engage and inspire' the population. The proposed polling contract, which has yet to be awarded, would centralize activities currently conducted by four different commands within Multi-National Force-Iraq and the Psychological Operations and Information Operations task forces.
