Friday 23 August – a Reaper killed two terrorists at a weapons cache in the western desert of Iraq…Royal Air Force aircraft have continued to fly daily armed reconnaissance missions over Iraq and eastern Syria as part of the global coalition against the Daesh terrorist movement. On Friday 23 August, an RAF Reaper patrolled over the western deserts of Iraq’s Anbar province, in support of operations by Iraqi security forces to prevent Daesh regaining a foothold in the area. Two armed terrorists had been identified by another coalition surveillance aircraft, and the Reaper found the pair at a hole dug in the desert floor, believed to be a weapons cache. A single Hellfire missile was fired by the Reaper’s crew, which struck the terrorists and the concealed weapons.

French MoD report that two Rafales struck an ISIS tunnel in Iraq on Saturday 17th August

CHAMMAL : Les Rafale français au Levant appuient les forces de sécurité irakiennes

Samedi dernier, deux Rafale de la Base Aérienne Projetée au Levant ont une nouvelle fois appuyé les forces de sécurité irakiennes au cours d’une mission d’appui Air Interdiction, dans le nord-est irakien.
Un objectif : détruire un tunnel utilisé par Daech

L’opération a été menée de manière conjointe et coordonnée avec d’autres éléments de la Coalition internationale. L’objectif était de détruire un tunnel utilisé par Daech comme base arrière pour ses actions. L’absence de population civile autour de la cible avait été confirmée antérieurement, et de nouveau au moment du tir. Cette frappe a ainsi contribué à l’affaiblissement des capacités militaires du groupe terroriste.

Comme chaque jour depuis le début de l’opération Chammal, les équipages et les mécaniciens de la Base aérienne projetée au Levant ont œuvré de concert à la réussite de la mission avec professionnalisme et détermination. Les pilotes de Rafale ont rempli leur mission grâce à un tir de haute précision.

Une cible retenue par la Coalition et évaluée par des experts français

Cette frappe est le fruit d’une coopération étroite avec nos alliés dans le cadre de l’Opération Inherent Resolve. Toute cible retenue par la Coalition est ensuite évaluée par les experts de la chaîne opérationnelle française afin d’exercer son contrôle national sur l’emploi des forces armées et confirmer la conformité des objectifs proposés au regard des directives nationales.

Lancée depuis le 19 septembre 2014, l’opération Chammal représente le volet français de l’Opération Inherent Resolve (OIR) au sein d’une coalition de 80 pays et organisations. A la demande du gouvernement irakien et en coordination avec les alliés de la France présents dans la région, l’opération Chammal vise, à apporter un soutien militaire aux forces locales engagées dans le combat contre Daech sur leur territoire. L’opération Chammal repose sur deux piliers complémentaires : un pilier ” appui ” destiné à appuyer les troupes engagées au sol contre Daech et à frapper les capacités militaires de Daech ; un pilier ” formation” au profit des forces de sécurité irakiennes. A ce jour, le dispositif complet de l’opération Chammal compte près de 1 000 militaires. Il comprend également plus d’une centaine de militaires projetés à Bagdad pour la formation et le conseil des états-majors et unités irakiennes.

L’opération Chammal, volet français de l’Opération Inherent Resolve, poursuit sa mission de lutte contre Daech et continue à appuyer les Forces Démocratiques Syriennes (FDS) et les Forces de Sécurité Irakiennes (FSI).
En Irak, dans le Nord-Est syrien et dans la Moyenne Vallée de l’Euphrate, la situation sécuritaire est stable. Les FSI comme les FDS y poursuivent leurs différentes opérations de ratissage et de sécurisation contre les cellules clandestines de Daech.

ACTIVITÉ DE LA FORCE
La France poursuit son engagement au sein du pilier appui de la coalition à travers la poursuite des opérations aériennes, et au sein du pilier « formation ».
Frappe aérienne contre Daech
Samedi dernier, deux Rafale de la Base Aérienne Projetée au Levant ont une nouvelle fois appuyé les FSI au cours d’une mission réalisée dans le nord-est irakien, de manière conjointe et coordonnée avec d’autres éléments de la Coalition internationale.

Les Task Force Narvik et Monsabert poursuivent leurs efforts de formation
Les militaires français engagés dans le pilier « formation » de l’opération Chammal poursuivent leurs efforts au profit des forces armées irakiennes.
Après avoir dispensé il y a quelques semaines une formation au renseignement opérationnel, les instructeurs de la TF Narvik ont lancé cette semaine un nouveau stage destiné à la formation des officiers de l’ICTS, et s’apprêtent à mener une formation sur les techniques de combat en zone urbaine.
