CJTF-OIR Strike Summary July 02 – July 31, 2019

SOUTHWEST ASIA – Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve and its partners continue to target and pursue the enduring defeat of Daesh.

CJTF-OIR and partner forces have liberated nearly 110,000 square kilometers (42,471 square miles) from Daesh. As a result, 7.7 million people no longer live under Daesh oppression. CJTF-OIR remains committed to the enduring defeat of Daesh to improve conditions for peace and stability in the region and to protect all our homelands from the Daesh terrorist threat.

Strike Summary

Between July 2 and July 31, 2019, CJTF-OIR conducted 33 strikes consisting of 60 engagements against Daesh targets in Iraq. CJTF-OIR engaged 101 Daesh tactical units, destroyed 15 buildings, eight bed-down locations, seven tunnels, seven weapons caches, four vehicles, one improvised explosive device site and completed one terrain denial mission.

Between July 2 and July 31, 2019, CJTF-OIR conducted one strike consisting of five engagements against Daesh targets in Syria. CJTF-OIR engaged five Daesh tactical units.

Between July 2 and July 31, 2019, CJTF-OIR detected eight strikes from other actors that crossed the Euphrates River Valley. CJTF-OIR is committed to avoiding and in every case minimizing civilian casualties; CJTF-OIR calls on all other actors in the area to observe the same precautions.

This CJTF-OIR strike release contains all strikes conducted by fighter, attack, bomber, rotary-wing, or remotely piloted aircraft, rocket propelled artillery and ground-based tactical artillery.

A strike, as defined in the CJTF-OIR release, refers to one or more kinetic engagements that occur in roughly the same geographic location to produce a single, sometimes cumulative effect in that location. For example, a single aircraft delivering a single weapon against a lone Daesh vehicle is one strike, but so is multiple aircraft delivering dozens of weapons against a group of Daesh-held buildings and weapon systems in a compound, having the cumulative effect of making that facility harder or impossible to use. Strike assessments are based on initial reports and may be refined.

CJTF-OIR does not report the number or type of aircraft employed in a strike, the number of munitions dropped in each strike, or the number of individual munition impact points against a target.

Notes

rench aircraft based in Jordan and the United Arab Emirates continue their actions against Daech, within the Coalition. This week, Rafale and Atlantic 2 of Operation Chammal made 20 sorties. An air strike carried out in Iraq on July 27 by a Rafale patrol from the proposed Air Base (BAP) in the Levant destroyed a cache of weapons and materials used in the manufacture of improvised explosive devices used by Daesh .

CHAMMAL

SITUATION MILITAIRE DU THÉÂTRE

L’opération Chammal, volet français de l’Opération Inherent Resolve (OIR), 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 menées à partir des bases aériennes dans la région. En parallèle elle continue à œuvrer au sein du pilier « formation » au profit de l’armée irakienne.

Changement du SNR opératif (Senior National Representative – représentant national de théâtre)

Le 28 juillet 2019, le général de brigade aérienne Vigilant et le général de brigade aérienne Dupont ont réuni les militaires français présents à Bagdad à l’occasion du transfert d’autorité du poste de SNR opératif Chammal (Senior National Representative – représentant national de théâtre).

Réunissant les personnels de l’élément de soutien national Irak, les militaires français travaillant au sein de la Coalition internationale et les représentants des Task Force Monsabert et Narvik stationnées aux alentours de Bagdad, ce passage de relais a permis au général de brigade aérienne Vigilant de remercier les hommes et femmes dont il a eu la responsabilité pendant un an sur l’ensemble du théâtre de l’opération Chammal. Il incombe désormais au général de brigade aérienne Dupont de lui succéder comme représentant national de théâtre mais aussi comme directeur des actions civilo-militaires de la coalition.

Sorties air hebdomadaires (bilan du 24 au 30 juillet 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 et Atlantique 2 de l’opération Chammal ont réalisé 20 sorties aériennes. Une frappe aérienne menée en Irak le 27 juillet par une patrouille de Rafale au départ de la Base aérienne projetée (BAP) au Levant a permis de détruire une cache d’armes et de matériels servant à la fabrication d’engins explosifs improvisés utilisés par Daech.
