How do the locals feel about this? Will they be receptive and help the outposts or harm them?

As long as we start paying the locals against like we did before the pullout and let them do some of the self-patrolling, then there is hope. We left in 2011 and the protection money stopped that is when ISIL got stronger and the Sunnis went to them instead of the central government of Iraq that is a run, behind the scenses, from Iran. Now Hezbollah has M1A1 tanks and they are part of the fight trying to take back MOSUL but we really f-d it up to leave as a 2008 campaign promise!
