This document discusses ORHA and its role in the reconstruction of Iraq. The document considers how to utilise ORHA and the legality behind its actions. The document frequently discusses the limitations of the UK acting through ORHA and the limitations of the organisation itself. It also discusses tension between the US State Department and the US Department of Defence for control over ORHA which certainly exemplifies the cause of the UK’s hesitancy to act through this organisation.

This source is hugely useful to scholars as it demonstrates the coalition’s methods of managing humanitarian assistance and the limitations it faces based on its utilisation of this organisation.
