CHAMMAL

SITUATION MILITAIRE DU THÉÂTRE

L’opération Chammal se poursuit, et les armées restent résolument engagées dans leur lutte contre l’organisation terroriste Daech.

Les avions français, depuis la base aérienne projetée et le porte-avions Charles de Gaulle, poursuivent leurs missions sur l’ensemble de la zone d’opération tandis que la Task force Monsabert poursuit son action au sein du pilier « formation ».

ACTIVITÉ DE LA FORCE

Ø Mission Foch : première semaine d’opérations en Chammal pour le groupe aéronaval

Depuis leur arrivée en zone d’opération Chammal le 29 janvier dernier, les Rafale marine et les E2C Hawkeye du groupe aéronaval constitué en Task Force 473 poursuivent les opérations aériennes de lutte contre Daech.

Chaque jour, les marins décollent du Charles de Gaulle pour des missions aériennes de reconnaissance tactique et de défense aérienne, ainsi que des vols d’appui aérien en soutien des opérations terrestres. Les capacités de reconnaissance, de renseignement et de frappe du Rafale marine sont complétées par deux avions de guet aérien E2C-Hawkeye, également mis en œuvre depuis le porte-avions. Ils patrouillent au-dessus des territoires d’intérêt et concourent ainsi à l’éclairage de la force et à la compréhension du théâtre. En cinq jours, 22 appareils répartis en 13 patrouilles ont été catapultés depuis le porte-avions, cumulant ainsi plus de 60 heures de vols opérationnels au-dessus du théâtre. Ils sont soutenus par un Caïman marine, hélicoptère de combat multiluttes et un avion de patrouille maritime Atlantique 2, aux capacités complémentaires de maîtrise des espaces aéromaritimes et de recueil de renseignement.

Ce déploiement de la Task force 473 en Méditerranée orientale est le 5e depuis 2014 et le lancement de l’opération Chammal.

Dans les prochaines semaines, le groupe aéronaval continuera de mettre en œuvre quotidiennement ses aéronefs, en complément des moyens français de l’armée de l’Air déjà déployés dans la zone.

Ø La Task Force Monsabert forme la 6e division irakienne à la lutte « anti-sniping »
Début février, la Task Force Monsabert a formé les tireurs d’élite de la 6e division d’infanterie irakienne à la lutte « anti-sniping ». L’objectif était d’enseigner les bons réflexes à adopter en cas de prise à partie par un tireur d’élite ennemi.

Après plusieurs cours théoriques présentant les modes d’action des tireurs d’élite, les militaires irakiens ont été confrontés à des cas pratiques au sein du village de combat construit par la Task Force Monsabert.

Commandé par son chef de groupe, chaque tireur devait étudier la présence éventuelle d’un sniper dans les bâtiments, et se déplacer discrètement et ne pas se faire détecter par le sniper ennemi. S’appuyant sur les possibilités de camouflage offertes par la végétation et le relief, les tireurs de la 6e division irakienne s’étaient positionnés afin de pouvoir neutraliser l’ennemi.

Cette formation a permis de renforcer la capacité opérationnelle des tireurs d’élite irakiens qui possèdent, pour la plupart, une certaine expérience du feu. En effet, certains d’entre eux ont déjà participé à des combats contre Daech. Régulièrement déployés dans le cadre de la lutte antiterroriste, ces tireurs d’élite de la 6e division irakienne réduisent le champ d’action des tireurs isolés djihadistes et veillent ainsi à la protection des forces armées et des populations civiles.

Ø Sorties air hebdomadaires (bilan du 29 janvier au 4 février inclus)
Les aéronefs français basés en Jordanie et aux Émirats arabes unis poursuivent leurs actions contre Daech, au sein de la Coalition. Cette semaine, les Rafale, ATL-2 et E2-C engagés dans l’opération Chammal ont réalisé 60 sorties aériennes.

Ce lundi 3 février 2020, un Rafale a d’ailleurs décollé de la BAP H5 pour une mission d’appui aux forces de sécurités engagées au levant, qui s’avère être la 10000e sortie aérienne de l’opération « Chammal », tous aéronefs confondus.
