IRAK / SYRIE : CHAMMAL

La coalition poursuit la stratégie qui consiste à appuyer les troupes locales dans leurs combats contre Daech tout en frappant les capacités de l’organisation terroriste.

Daech recule là où la coalition accentue la pression (Falludjah, Sud Mossoul, Manbij). L’organisation tente de reprendre pied en conduisant des attaques de harcèlement sur les forces de sécurité irakiennes (Tikrit et Nasir). Elle poursuit également les attentats suicides à Bagdad.

La bataille pour libérer Fallujah se poursuit et les forces de sécurité irakiennes progressent, malgré la posture défensive de Daech qui se renforce à mesure qu’elles se rapprochent de la ville. Les forces de l’ICTS entrainées à Bagdad par les instructeurs français participent à la reprise de la ville.

Activités de la force Chammal

Du 1er au 7 juin 2016, les aéronefs de l’opération Chammal ont poursuivi leurs missions aériennes contre Daech, en réalisant 37 sorties, dont 25 de bombardement et 11 de recueil de renseignement.

Au total 3 frappes

ont détruit 4 objectifs

de Daech.

Cette semaine, l’action de la force Chammal concernait surtout l’appui des opérations terrestres dans les régions de Mossoul et Fallujah. Son action visait principalement des positions armées de Daesh.

1 frappe planifiée a été conduite en Irak le 5 juin contre un bâtiment d’entraînement de Daech.

2 frappes d’appui au sol ont été réalisées en Irak le 6 et 7 juin contre des positions armées terroristes.

La baisse d’activité s’explique principalement par la relève d’équipage sur la BAP de Jordanie.

Le dispositif de Chammal a légèrement évolué puisque l’E3-F AWACS a quitté le théâtre des opérations le 4 juin et 3 Mirage 2000D ont été remplacés par 3 Mirage 2000N.

L’E-3F Français, plus connu sous le nom d’AWACS, a terminé le 4 juin 2016 sa mission au profit de l’opération Chammal. Déployé sur la base américaine d’Al Udeïd au Qatar depuis le 31 mars 2016, l’avion et son équipage ont assuré des missions de « command and control » au sein de la coalition internationale.

(1)2014_AEOA_201_042_056.jpg

Pour sa troisième participation à l’Opération Inherent Resolve, l’AWACS a effectué une quinzaine de sorties et réalisé près de 150 heures de vol au-dessus du théâtre d’opérations. Sa mission consiste à assurer la « déconfliction » entre les moyens aériens de la coalition (drônes, chasseurs, ravitailleurs, bombardiers), c’est-à-dire la coordination des missions des nombreux aéronefs qui volent dans l’espace restreint de la zone d’opération.

La flotte d’E-3F totalise plus de 13 700 heures de vol en opérations. L’AWACS a participé à de nombreuses opérations françaises : Serval, Salamandre, Trident, Harmattan ou encore Chammal. Il y assure chaque fois les fonctions opérationnelles de « command and control » (C2) et de détection avancée (AEW), essentielle dans les opérations modernes qui réservent un rôle décisif à l’arme aérienne.

Lancée depuis le 19 septembre 2014, l’opération Chammal mobilise actuellement 1000 militaires. Elle vise, à la demande du gouvernement irakien et en coordination avec les alliés de la France présents dans la région, à assurer un soutien aérien en Irak et en Syrie dans la lutte contre le groupe terroriste autoproclamé Daech, en frappant l’organisation terroriste avec ses moyens aériens. Le dispositif complet est actuellement structuré autour de quatorze avions de chasse de l’armée de l’Air (six Rafale, huit Mirage 2000 D et N) d’un avion de patrouille maritime Atlantique2 de la Marine nationale ainsi que de capacités de renseignement, de commandement, de contrôle (C2) et de ravitaillement. Il comprend également une centaine de militaires projetés à Bagdad et Erbil pour la formation et le conseil des états-majors et unités irakiennes.
