Chammal : point de situation au levant

Dans la vallée de l’Euphrate, les forces de sécurité irakiennes ont repris du terrain sur Daech. Elles ont ainsi libéré le poste-frontière d’Al-Walid qui permettait aux terroristes de transiter entre l’Irak et la Syrie. Dans la vallée du Tigre, Daech mène un grand nombre d’actions de harcèlement contre les forces irakiennes dans le secteur de Qayyarah. Pour le groupe terroriste, il s’agit de masquer ses opérations de repli en direction de Mossoul.

En Syrie, les forces démocratiques syriennes ont investi le centre-ville de Manbij où les derniers combattants de Daech se sont retranchés. La densité des habitations ralentit leur progression. Pour gagner de temps et tenter de permettre aux derniers défenseurs de s’échapper, le groupe terroriste a lancé une nouvelle contre-offensive le 09 août qui s’est soldée par un échec grâce à la réactivité et la vigilance des forces démocratiques syriennes.

ACTIVITÉS DE LA FORCE CHAMMAL

La force Chammal poursuit la campagne aérienne, ainsi que les missions de formation et de conseil.

Du 03 au 09 aout 2016, les aéronefs de l’opération Chammal ont poursuivi leurs missions aériennes contre Daech, en réalisant 44 sorties, dont 32 de bombardement, 6 de recueil de renseignements et 6 de ravitaillement en vol.

Elles ont permis la réalisation de 8 frappes, aboutissant à la destruction de 18 objectifs de Daech.

7 frappes d’appui au sol ont été réalisées en Irak au cours de la semaine notamment à Mossoul et Qayyarah. En particulier, le 3 août 2016, une patrouille de deux Mirage 2000D accompagnée d’un Atlantique 2 et une patrouille de deux Rafale ont été sollicitées par les forces terrestres irakiennes pour détruire une position tenue de longue date par Daech à proximité de Qayarah. L’intervention des aéronefs français a permis de détruire une douzaine de baraquements et tunnels d’un système défensif utilisés par les combattants de Daech.

1 frappe planifiée a été conduite en Irak le 06 août. Dans la région de Qayyarah, 2 Mirage 2000D ont détruit un centre de commandement local de l’organisation terroriste.

Wednesday 10 August – a Reaper assisted Syrian democratic forces in close combat near Manbij. Typhoons attacked an armed truck in western Iraq…On Wednesday 10 August, a Reaper patrolled over Manbij, where Syrian democratic forces have cleared Daesh from much of the town. The Reaper intervened in close combat that developed just to the north of Manbij and successfully used Hellfires to clear two groups of extremists engaged in a fire fight with the Syrian moderates. Over Iraq, Typhoons bombed an armed truck concealed under trees some miles to the south-east of Hit. A number of secondary explosions followed as associated ammunition caught fire.

Kampflybidraget

I den forgangne uge har de danske F-16 kampfly angrebet mål i Al Anbar, Salah Ad Din, Ninawa, Erbil og Dahuk provinserne i Irak. Missionerne har omfattet angreb på fjender i bygninger, fjender i det åbne terræn, køretøjer samt raketudstyr. Derudover har missionerne omfattet overvågningsopgaver og efterretningsindhentningsopgaver.

Til og med onsdag den 10. august kl. 12 er følgende gældende:

  • Antal fløjne missioner i den forgangne uge: 10
  • Antal anvendte præcisionsbomber i den forgangne uge: 8
  • Antal fløjne missioner totalt: 77
  • Antal anvendte præcisionsbomber totalt: 101

Ved siden af denne artikel på forsvarets hjemmeside findes der nu en artikel, der i detaljer beskriver beslutningsprocessen i forbindelse med indsættelse af kampfly.

Træningsbidraget

Hold 4 har nu afløst Hold 3. Rotationen mellem Hold 3 og Hold 4 er forløbet planmæssigt.

Hold 3 har leveret et professionelt stykke arbejde, der bliver rost af både irakiske partnere og koalitionspartnere. Hold 3 har således skabt et solidt fundament for Hold 4.

I den seneste uge har Hold 4 gennemført uddannelse for 7. Irakiske Division. Aktivitetsniveauet har været tilpasset overdragelsen mellem hold 3 og hold 4.

De næste opgaver for Hold 4 vil være at forberede uddannelsen af det næste store uddannelseshold af Border Guard Police, samtidig med forberedelse af modtagelse og koordination af danske specialoperationssoldater og deres etablering på Al Asad Airbase.

Transportflybidraget

I den seneste uge har C-130 bidraget for første gang gennemført taktisk air drop i Syrien til støtte for koalitionens specialstyrker. Operationen forløb planmæssigt og har vist bidragets fleksibilitet og alsidighed overfor koalitionspartnerne. I alt blev mere end 8000 kilo gods nedkastet med god præcision.

Risiko for civile tab

Den danske kampflyindsats mod ISIL i Operation Inherent Resolve bliver anderledes denne gang. Det kan ikke udelukkes, at danske fly kan komme til at flyve missioner, hvor civile tab ikke kan undgås. 11-08-2016 – kl. 13:25

Af Værnsfælles Forsvarskommando

Hele den danske indsats i kampen mod ISIL handler overordnet om at støtte koalitionen i bekæmpelsen af terrororganisationen og at hjælpe med at beskytte civilbefolkningen mod alvorlige overgreb. Det danske mandat for missionen i Irak og Syrien følger selvsagt krigens love og humanitær folkeret i forhold til vurderingen af, om en specifik opgave, hvor der er risiko for civile tab, kan godkendes. Kravet om proportionalitetsprincippet indebærer en nøje vurdering af mulighederne for at minimere eller helt undgå civile tab. Det er vigtigt at forstå, at der ikke er sket nogen ændring i tilgangen, da det danske militære bidrag altid vil være undergivet folkeretten, herunder den humanitære folkeret. Der har heller ikke i tidligere missioner været et krav om, at der ikke måtte være civile tab. Derfor er den danske tolerance for civile tab uændret.

– Men vi står i en situation nu, hvor vores mandat kan blive prøvet til det yderste, siger generalmajor Flemming Lentfer, der er chef for Operationsstaben i Værnsfælles Forsvarskommando og dermed chef for de danske soldater, der er udsendt i Operation Inherent Resolve, og fortsætter.

– Beskyttelse af civile er et afgørende element for os i alt det vi gør, når vi er i krig. Men på dette tidspunkt i denne konflikt, må vi erkende, at der kan opstå situationer, hvor vi vil være nødt til at acceptere, at de militære mål er så vigtige, at vi ikke kan undgå at ramme civile.

På nuværende tidspunkt foregår flere kampe i beboede områder. I disse områder har ISIL haft lang tid til at forberede forsvarspositioner. De har blandt andet mineret områder og gravet tunneller mellem bygninger.

– Det betyder, at selvom vi kan vælge våben og mål, der kan reducere risikoen, så kan vi komme i en situation, hvor vi ikke kan undgå at ramme civile, siger Flemming Lentfer.

Fremgangsmåden

Forud for ethvert angreb med danske kampfly vil danske medarbejdere være en del af planlægningen. De skal på forhånd verificere, at indsatsen ligger inden for krigens love og det danske mandat. Efter indsatsen i Libyen og første udsendelse til Operation Inherent Resolve, har de danske soldater solid erfaring med dette arbejde. Hele processen styres af et Mission & Target Approval Authority-hold (MTAA), som sidder i koalitionens operative hovedkvarter i Qatar. Det består af specialister, efterretningspersonel og en militærjurist. Holdet ledes af den såkaldte Red Card Holder, som er en erfaren F-16 pilot fra Flyvevåbnets chefgruppe med bred ekspertviden om luftoperationer. Til at tage beslutningerne har holdet en række informationer til rådighed. Det kan være billeder og rapporter, der kan komme fra flere forskellige steder – både fra jorden og fra luften.

– Der er i sagens natur grænser for, hvor meget vi kan gå i detaljer med, hvordan efterretninger bliver indhentet, men generelt kan man sige, at hvis der bliver taget beslutning om at indsætte kampfly, så ligger der efterretninger bag, som vi har tillid til, siger Flemming Lentfer.

Ekstra godkendelse

Red Card Holderen har stadig sidste ord i forbindelse med missioner. Opstår der en situation, hvor MTAA-holdet vurderer, at et mål til trods for risikoen for civile tab, har stor nok militær værdi til at et angreb kan godkendes, er der nu indsat et ekstra godkendelsesniveau. I sådanne tilfælde løftes beslutningen om godkendelse af angreb til en general i Danmark.

– Det her handler om proportionalitet – altså en vurdering af vigtigheden af at et mål bliver angrebet set i forhold til de ødelæggelser angrebet vil medføre. Det er en militær vurdering, og ikke en juridisk vurdering. Hvis Red Card Holderen ikke vurderer, at de civile tab er proportionelle med den militære gevinst, vil han afvise angrebet og ikke videresende anmodningen. Men hvis han vurderer, at civile tab er proportionelt med den militære gevinst, sender han anmodningen med de nødvendige overvejelser til generalsniveauet i Danmark til beslutning, siger Flemming Lentfer.
