November 27, 2017

Notes

In the past week, France reports that air activity was focused on the Jezirah Desert where intelligence and support missions were conducted to locate terrorists who fled cities recently recaptured from ISIS. There were 36 sorties and 1 strike and 2 targets destroyed. Totals since 19/09/14: 7515 sorties / 1422 strikes / 2209 targets destroyed.

EFFORT DE LA COALITION

En Syrie, l’effort porte sur la zone située au Nord des villes de Deir Ez Zor et de Mayadin, tandis qu’en Irak, après la sécurisation de la ville d’Al Qaim et la saisie de Rawah, les forces de sécurité irakiennes concentrent leurs efforts sur la poursuite des terroristes qui se sont disséminés dans le désert de Jézirah.

EVOLUTION DE LA SITUATION

Poursuite des actions de combats contre Daech…

En Syrie, des combats violents se poursuivent dans la vallée de l’Euphrate où Daech est pris en tenaille entre les forces démocratiques syriennes et les forces pro-régime.

En Irak, les forces de sécurité irakiennes assurent la sécurisation du désert de Jézirah où de nombreux terroristes de Daech se sont réfugiés après les reprises d’Al Qaim et de Rawah. Pour l’instant, la résistance opposée par Daech reste faible malgré une menace permanente et l’utilisation d’engins explosifs improvisés.

…qui n’a pas perdu sa capacité de nuisance

Bien que très affaibli, Daech conserve une réelle capacité de nuisance. Basculant vers des modes d’action clandestins, l’organisation cherche à fragiliser les forces de sécurité irakiennes et le pouvoir en place et à déstabiliser les populations par la terreur.

Plusieurs attentats ont été commis ces derniers jours. Le plus important a eu lieu le 21 novembre dans un marché de Tuz Khurmatu (Sud de Kirkuk). Le bilan serait d’une trentaine de morts et de dizaines de blessés.

Dépollution et reconstruction

En parallèle des opérations de sécurisation, les forces de sécurité irakiennes soutenues par la coalition, s’attellent à la dépollution du champ de bataille. Les Task Force Monsabert et Narvik participent indirectement à ses opérations au travers de stages de lutte contre les engins explosifs improvisés au profit des forces de sécurité irakiennes. A Raqqah, les opérations progressent : des réfugiés ont d’ores et déjà été autorisés à retourner dans certaines zones périphériques.

ACTIVITES DE LA SEMAINE

la Task Force Wagram en appui des opérations de ratissage menées dans la vallée de l’Euphrate et le désert de Jézirah

Après avoir participé à la libération de Rawah, dernière ville tenue par Daech en Irak, la Task Force Wagram s’est réarticulée cette semaine pour être en mesure d’appuyer les forces de sécurité irakiennes dans leurs opérations de sécurisation et de ratissage de la vallée de l’Euphrate et du désert de Jézirah.

Elle n’a pas encore réalisé de tir dans le cadre de cette nouvelle mission d’appui mais se tient parée à effectuer des raids d’opportunité comme elle l’avait fait au cours de la bataille de Rawah.

Pour mémoire, depuis le début de la mission de la TFW, 1582 missions ont été réalisées.

Activité aérienne

L’activité aérienne s’est concentrée sur le désert de Jézirah où des missions de renseignement et d’appui ont été menées pour localiser et neutraliser les terroristes ayant fui les villes récemment reprises à Daech.

36 sorties et 1 frappe pour 2 objectifs neutralisés (bilan du 22 au 28 novembre).

Bilan total depuis le 19/09/14 : 7515 sorties / 1422 frappes / 2209 objectifs neutralisés.

CHAMMAL

SITUATION MILITAIRE DU THEATRE

En zone irako-syrienne, Daech ne contrôle plus de grands centres urbains. Le prétendu califat n’existe plus et la phase de combat frontale contre Daech se termine. Affaibli, Daech tente maintenant de basculer dans une guerre clandestine.

La priorité des opérations actuelles est donc de supprimer les poches terroristes restantes, de sécuriser les territoires repris et de reconstruire les zones détruites par les combats, pour in fine permettre le retour à la vie normale des populations.

Visite du Chef d’état-major des armées

Le week-end dernier, le général François Lecointre, chef d’état-major des armées, s’est rendu en Irak pour y mener une inspection de théâtre et y rencontrer les militaires français engagés en Irak dans la lutte contre Daech.

Il a d’abord visité la Task Force Narvik en charge d’une partie de la formation des militaires irakiens de l’Iraqi Counter Terrorism Service (ICTS). Unité d’élite des forces armées irakiennes, cette dernière a participé à la majorité des opérations de reconquête du territoire irakien.

7500 soldats irakiens ont été formés depuis avril 2015 par les TF Narvik et Monsabert.

Le CEMA est ensuite allé à la rencontre des artilleurs français de la TF Wagram. Actuellement établis à proximité de Rawah, ils appuient les opérations menées dans la vallée de l’Euphrate par les forces de sécurité irakiennes.

Depuis la bataille de Mossoul, les artilleurs de la TF Wagram ont appuyé toutes les grandes opérations des forces de sécurité irakiennes : libération de Tal Hafar dans le Nord irakien, d’Hawijah plus au Centre, et actuellement reconquête d’Al Qaim et de Rawah.

SITUATION MILITAIRE DU THEATRE

Abou Kamal, dernière ville encore tenue par Daech, a été reprise par les forces pro-régime le 21.

Bien que Daech ait maintenant perdu toutes ses emprises territoriales, les opérations de sécurisation et de réduction des nombreuses poches terroristes restantes devraient néanmoins prendre encore du temps.

En Syrie : avancée vers le Sud-Est des forces démocratiques syriennes

Soutenues par la coalition, les forces démocratiques syriennes réalisent des progrès significatifs. Elles ont pris le contrôle des champs pétrolifères de Tanak au Nord d’Al Qaim et poursuivent maintenant leurs actions vers le Sud-Est.

En Irak : Libération de Rawah…

La bataille pour la reconquête de Rawah a été très rapide. Après un raid artillerie réalisé dans la nuit de jeudi à vendredi dernier auquel a participé la TF Wagram, les forces de sécurité irakiennes ont pénétré dans la ville sans rencontrer de résistance significative.

Rawah, dernière ville tenue par Daech en Irak, a été reprise le 17 novembre.

… mais résurgence de Daech dans les territoires libérés

Ces victoires successives marquent la fin de Daech en tant que proto-Etat mais ne signifient pas encore la perte de la capacité de nuisance de l’organisation terroriste. L’organisation semble en effet peu à peu basculer dans une autre forme, se traduisant par une résurgence de l’activité terroriste dans les territoires libérés, sur le plateau d’Hawijah et autour de Kirkouk notamment.

Après la libération de Rawah, l’enjeu actuel consiste à sécuriser les zones récemment conquises. Ces opérations passent par la neutralisation des poches terroristes restantes et par des actions de déminage et de dépollution pour permettre le retour des populations.

Visite du Chef d’état-major des armées

Le week-end dernier, le général François Lecointre, chef d’état-major des armées, s’est rendu en Irak pour y mener une inspection de théâtre et y rencontrer les militaires français engagés en Irak dans la lutte contre Daech.

Il a d’abord visité la Task Force Narvik en charge d’une partie de la formation des militaires irakiens de l’Iraqi Counter Terrorism Service (ICTS). Unité d’élite des forces armées irakiennes, cette dernière a participé à la majorité des opérations de reconquête du territoire irakien.

7500 soldats irakiens ont été formés depuis avril 2015 par les TF Narvik et Monsabert.

Le CEMA est ensuite allé à la rencontre des artilleurs français de la TF Wagram. Actuellement établis à proximité de Rawah, ils appuient les opérations menées dans la vallée de l’Euphrate par les forces de sécurité irakiennes.
