Wednesday 18 July – a Reaper sealed off a cave containing stockpiled weapons in eastern Syria…RAF aircraft continued to fly daily reconnaissance missions to identify potential Daesh activity, but did not need to engage a target until Wednesday 18 July. A cave in eastern Syria was confirmed as the location of a stockpile of terrorist weaponry, so a Reaper employed a GBU-12 guided bomb to deny Daesh access. The weapon scored a direct hit on the cave entrance and it was successfully collapsed.

Offensive contre les dernières poches de Daech en Syrie

En Syrie, l’offensive contre les deux dernières emprises territoriales de Daech a marqué un temps d’arrêt durant quelques jours, afin de stabiliser les zones récemment libérées. L’objectif des forces démocratiques syriennes reste d’éviter que des éléments de Daech ne se laissent dépasser et tentent de conduire des actions sur leurs arrières. L’offensive a depuis repris.

Poursuite des actions de sécurisation en Irak

Pour contrer l’organisation terroriste, plusieurs opérations sont menées par les forces de sécurité irakienne en Ninive et dans le désert de l’Anbar.

Cette formation couvre les techniques de progression, de sécurisation de bâtiment, ainsi que l’ensemble des savoir-faire caractéristiques du combat en zone urbaine.

Menées par les forces démocratiques syriennes, coordonnées avec les forces de sécurité irakiennes et appuyées par la coalition, ces opérations ont permis de reprendre plus de 900 km2 de territoire à Daech depuis leur lancement le 1er mai.

Poursuite des actions de sécurisation en Irak

En Irak, les forces de sécurité irakiennes poursuivent leurs opérations de sécurisation. Les zones d’effort demeurent la région de Ninive et le désert de l’Anbar.

ACTIVITE DE LA FORCE

Formation au profit des forces de sécurité irakiennes



Un détachement d’instruction opérationnel (DIO) « artillerie » a été lancé cette semaine. Ce DIO artillerie sera chargé de participer à la montée en puissance des artilleurs irakiens. Dispensée par une dizaine d’instructeurs français, la formation s’adressera aux moniteurs irakiens de l’école d’artillerie irakienne.

La cérémonie de bienvenue de ce DIO a eu lieu le 8 juillet en présence du général Hatem, commandant l’artillerie irakienne.

La Task Force Narvik poursuit ses stages au profit de près de 200 stagiaires de l’Iraki Counter Terrorisme Service (ICTS). Ces formations couvrent l’apprentissage à la lutte contre les engins explosifs, au maniement et à l’entretien d’armements lourds, au déplacement tactique en convoi, au secourisme au combat et au tir de précision.

Operation Roundup targets Daesh remnants

SOUTHWEST ASIA – Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve and its partners have accelerated offensive activity against Daesh targets in designated parts of Iraq and Syria.

Since the May 1 start of Operation Roundup, Syrian Democratic Forces resumed major offensive operations in the Middle Euphrates River Valley. Since then, the SDF has continued to gain ground through offensive operations coupled with precision Coalition strike support.

Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve and its partner forces continue to exert pressure on Daesh senior leaders and associates in order to degrade, disrupt and dismantle Daesh structures and remove terrorists throughout Iraq and Syria. Daesh morale is sinking on the frontlines as privileged Daesh leaders increasingly abandon their own fighters on the battlefield, taking resources with them as they flee.

Over the coming weeks, Operation Roundup will continue to build momentum against Daesh remnants remaining in the Iraq-Syria border region and the MERV. The Coalition remains committed to the lasting defeat of Daesh here, increasing peace and stability in the region and protecting all our homelands from the Daesh threat.

Saturday 23 June – a Reaper eliminated a Daesh mortar team spotted firing in eastern Syria…A Reaper crew, flying an armed reconnaissance patrol over eastern Syria, close to the Iraqi border, on Saturday 23 June, were tasked to investigate reports of a Daesh mortar being fired. Using the aircraft’s advanced surveillance sensor suite, they were able to identify terrorists carrying mortar ammunition into a treeline where the weapon was concealed. One Hellfire missile killed the terrorists, a second destroyed the mortar position itself.

Thursday 21 June – Typhoons bombed a hostile position which persisted in firing on coalition forces in southern Syria…On Thursday 21 June, coalition forces operating against Daesh in the south of Syria were fired on by hostile positions, not believed to be held by Daesh.

As an act of collective self-defence, RAF Typhoons dropped a single Paveway IV on the position, which successfully removed the threat to our coalition partners.
