The Free Iraqi Forces (FIF) was a militia made up of Iraqi expatriates, who served in the 2003 United States invasion of Iraq and its aftermath, under the control of Ahmed Chalabi's Iraqi National Congress government-in-exile. The paramilitary branch of the program was also known as the Free Iraqi Fighting Forces (FIFF), while other elements served as interpreters or on civil affairs projects.
