The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) does not report official membership numbers for Iraq for two reasons:

A. the membership in Iraq is mostly military service members and therefore changes often.

B. the Church does not have an "official" presence in Iraq.

Despite the fact that there is no 'official' church presence in Iraq, there are Mormons in Iraq. In 2009, the church established the "Baghdad Iraq Military District" which reported approximately 1,300 members in several military base congregations. However in 2011 US Military forces withdrew and the district was dissolved. Today, Mormon worship services are held weekly in Baghdad. The Baghdad congregation is under the direction of the church's Military Relations and consists of military personnel, diplomats, and foreign contractors. It also presumably includes the US ambassador to Iraq, Robert S. Beecroft, who is a Mormon.

If you need more information about the Mormon Church in Iraq, email the Military Relations department at Military-PST@ldschurch.org

How many Mormons served in world war 2 korean war vietnam war iraq war Afghanistan?

It would be impossible to know, since Mormons are not required to disclose their religion to the military, and service members are not required to disclose their military service to their church. Thousands upon thousands of Mormons have served in these wars, both for the United States military and for other nations.
