The last group of SOFAs under discussion is that of agreements concluded as single executive agreements, without any specific activity or exercise. These agreements contain a broad language of applicability. Some of these agreements apply to U.S. personnel “present” in a country, others apply to U.S. personnel who are “temporarily” in a country. In addition to time limitations, most agreements contain a language that attempts to adjust the scope of activities. The activities described can be as broad as “official tasks” or specific to a certain class of activities (e.g.B humanitarian aid, exercises and/or training). In the 1950s, nearly 40 years before the 1991 Gulf War, the United States concluded a series of agreements with Iraq, including (1) a military assistance agreement (T.I.A.S. 3108. April 1954); (2) an Agreement on the making available of military equipment and equipment made available under the Military Assistance Agreement (T.I.A.S. 3289. Agreement of 25 July 1955); and (3) an economic aid agreement (T.I.A.S.

3835. agreement of 18 and 22 May 1957). However, in response to the revolution of July 14, 1958 and the ensuing changes in the Iraqi government, the United States agreed to denounce the above-mentioned agreements (10 U.S.T. 1415); T.I.A.S. 4289; 357 U.N.S.T. 153. Exchange of notes in Baghdad on 30 May and 7 July 1959. Entered into force on 21 July 1959). A Forces Agreement (SOFA) is an agreement between a host country and a foreign nation that deploys armed forces in that country. SOFAs are often part of a comprehensive security agreement with other types of military agreements. A SOFA is not a safety device; it establishes the rights and privileges of foreign personnel who set up in a host country to support the strengthening of security measures.
