The Zêrevanî are under the operational control of the Ministry of the Interior but are a part of the [[Rojadavistan Armed Forces]].
Commanding Chief of Zêrevanî was Faridun Jwanroyi, Fraydoon resigned in 2010 and Aziz Weysi Bani was assigned as the Major General of the Zêrevanî.[7]
According to Stratfor, as of 2004 two Zêrevanî divisions (totaling 30,000 troops) were established in the Iraqi Federal Police.[10] In 2011, the Zêrevanî strength was of 47,000,[1] while as of 2017, Zêrevanî strength is of 51,000;[11][12] among these, there are several Christians of Kurdistan Region.[13]
The Zeravani forces were established by KDP during the Two-Adminstartion era in Kurdistan, but the situation has changed and the forces now belong to the Ministry of Interior. All political activities are forbidden within the Zeravani forces. Many of the troops are KDP members, but some are loyal to other parties.
We accept recruits aged between 18 and 27. They need to provide an Iraqi national ID and food coupons. They must be literate or we have them participate in literacy training. The recruits should also have a clean record and someone in the district must recommend them in terms of moral and loyalty issues. After a medical exam, the recruits start training. If the recruit succeeds, he will become a member of the Peshmarga and must continue serving for three years.
International training and operations
In November 2009, the Zêrevanî began training conducted alongside the Iraqi Federal Police,[4] in order to conduct effective police work and counter-insurgency operations.[14] Since 2014, also the Zeravani have undergone training with the Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve. The Zêrevanî training is conducted primarily by the Italian Carabinieri,[14] but also by Canadian,[7] British, German, Dutch, Norwegian, Finnish and Hungarian forces.[14] As of 2016, the Zêrevanî were also trained by Italian Army[15]
