Bilan de l’engagement de ces spécialistes de l’ombre, aussi pointus qu’opérationnels.

Aux côtés des 14 Rafale déployés sur les bases aériennes en Jordanie et aux Emirats arabes unis, la France a engagé des moyens de détection et de surveillance (E3F (AWACS), Atlantique 2 et une frégate), de ravitaillement en vol C135-FR ainsi que 4 canons CAESAR en Irak. Le Groupe aéronaval avec son groupe aérien « tout Rafale », lorsqu’il est déployé représente près de 3000 hommes supplémentaires. Pour assurer la continuité des opérations de lutte contre Daech, il est essentiel d’assurer le maintien en condition opérationnelle des moyens mais également des hommes qui les mettent en œuvre.

Voici 10 chiffres permettant d’illustrer le travail titanesque réalisé par les combattants du soutien, sur l’ensemble du théâtre Chammal (Koweït, Qatar, Emirats arabes unis, Irak et Jordanie) :

– 20 000 heures de vols comptabilisées sur l’ensemble des aéronefs déployés,

– 14 000 ravitaillements (en vol) des aéronefs français par l’ensemble de la coalition (dont le C135 FR),

– 12 000 avitaillements (au sol) des aéronefs français depuis nos bases en Jordanie et aux Emirats arabes unis,

– 15 000 tonnes de fret acheminées sur l’ensemble du théâtre dont la moitié par voie maritime et l’autre par voie aérienne, équilibrant ainsi coût induit et réactivité nécessaire aux opérations,

– 9000 tonnes uniquement à destination de la base aérienne projetée (BAP) en Jordanie, outil de combat avancé et plaque tournante du soutien aux opérations de lutte contre le terrorisme,

– près de 24 000 mouvements de personnels (comprenant les déploiements des frégates et du Charles de Gaulle),

– 12 000 allers-retours par voie aérienne, soit l’équivalent de 100 Airbus A310,

– 700 ordinateurs interconnectés en permanence grâce notamment à 50 stations satellitaires civiles et militaires dans le but d’assurer la sécurisation et la continuité des opérations au Levant,

– 90 chantiers d’infrastructures (logements, dépôt de munitions, des essences, parking avions…) menés uniquement pour l’année 2017, afin d’assurer de bonnes conditions de vie et de travail à nos militaires ; leur permettant ainsi de tenir dans la durée.

Aujourd’hui, plus de 1000 jours d’opérations aériennes en appui des forces amies combattant Daech au sol ont permis de détruire plus de 2000 objectifs. Depuis octobre 2016, le détachement d’artillerie a appuyé les forces irakiennes dans leur progression vers la ville de Mossoul, aujourd’hui libérée de l’emprise de l’organisation terroriste. Mais toutes ces missions accomplies avec succès ne sont possibles que grâce à l’aide indéfectible et continue des militaires assurant le soutien opérationnel et une liaison étroite entre les chaines opérationnelle et du soutien.

La responsabilité du soutien de la force Chammal a été confiée au Contre-amiral Piaton, (NCC, national contingent commander), également commandant de la zone maritime de l’océan indien et des forces pré positionnées aux Emirats arabes unis. Cette triple casquette lui confère une connaissance fine des enjeux régionaux, lui permettant d’anticiper et d’orienter le soutien au mieux, en cohérence avec les différents représentants des forces françaises sur le théâtre (national representative au Qatar et en Irak auprès de la coalition ainsi que le commandant de la BAP).

Aussi, son état-major interarmées (EMIA), responsable opératif de l’opération Chammal jusqu’à l’été 2016, conserve un pied dans l’opération en termes de logistique et de soutien interarmées. La division logistique de l’EMIA est composée d’une vingtaine de personnels chargée de recueillir et de répondre aux besoins des diverses unités du théâtre. Besoins aussi divers que variés : allant du soutien pétrolier, de la maintenance du matériel, de la sécurité ou de la prévention en opération aux soutiens de l’homme (alimentaire, médical, social, administratif…). Assurant l’interface avec les états-majors et grands commandements en métropole, cette équipe de spécialistes mobilisent, chaque jour depuis trois ans, leurs connaissances au profit de l’opération.

CHAMMAL

SITUATION

En Syrie,

A Raqqah, la manœuvre d’encerclement menée au Sud de la ville pour couper les combattants de Daech de leurs soutiens est terminée.

Dans la ville, la progression des Forces Démocratiques Syriennes se poursuit maison par maison, face à une défense de Daech faite d’actions permanentes de harcèlement, d’infiltrations et d’attaques suicides menées avec l’aide de boucliers humains.

Les Forces armées syriennes se heurtent aux défense de Daech plus à l’Est et les positions se stabilisent.

En Irak,

Dimanche 9 juillet, le Premier ministre irakien a annoncé la libération de Mossoul. Cette victoire sur l’organisation terroriste marque le succès de forces irakiennes appuyées par les forces aériennes de la Coalition et un soutien artillerie, au cœur d’une stratégie qui aura permis d’affaiblir Daech avant de contre-attaquer en remontant le Tigre et de progresser ensemble jusqu’au cœur de la ville après l’avoir encerclée.

Désormais, les forces de sécurité débutent une longue phase de sécurisation de Mossoul. La nécessité de nettoyer la ville des très nombreux pièges posés par Daech, la présence de combattants-suicides disséminés au sein de la population, la probable présence de cellules terroristes dormantes, va imposer aux Forces de Sécurité Irakiennes de poursuivre leurs efforts pendant de longues semaines.

Les combats se concentrent désormais dans le secteur de Tall Afar où bon nombre de combattants terroristes ont trouvé refuge après avoir fui la zone de Mossoul. Daech poursuit de son côté ses actions terroristes dans les régions de l’Anbar et d’Hawijah où l’organisation dispose encore de forces importantes.

ACTIVITÉS DE LA FORCE

Cette semaine, les aéronefs ont réalisé 21 sorties aériennes dont 19 de reconnaissance armée et d’appui au sol (CAS), ainsi que 2 missions de recueil de renseignement. 04 frappes ont été réalisées dont 02 dans le cadre de la bataille de Raqqah.

La Task Force (TF) Wagram a mené de son côté 15 missions de tir dont 14 de harcèlement et 01 d’éclairement.

Le bilan global depuis le 19 septembre 2014 s’élève 1311 frappes, 2076 objectifs et 6775 sorties.
