Military Strikes Continue Against Daesh Terrorists in Iraq and Syria

SOUTHWEST ASIA – Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve and its partners continue to strike Daesh targets in designated parts of Iraq and Syria.

Ongoing operations by Iraqi Security Forces and Syrian Democratic Forces, supported by CJTF-OIR efforts, demonstrate that work remains to defeat Daesh. Coalition strikes continue to target Daesh throughout Iraq under the leadership of Iraqi authorities. “All Coalition air strikes are carried out with the consent of the Iraqi government,” said Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi in a press conference April 1, 2018.

Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve and its partners continue to exert pressure on Daesh senior leaders and associates in order to degrade, disrupt and dismantle Daesh structures and remove terrorists throughout Iraq and Syria. This will prevent the terrorist group’s ability to resurge and resume its intent to threaten and destabilize the international community.

CHAMMAL

SITUATION MILITAIRE DU THEATRE



Sur le théâtre irako-syrien, les opérations se poursuivent. Les objectifs restent inchangés : défaire les dernières poches terroristes en Syrie et renforcer la sécurisation du territoire irakien.

Poursuite des combats en Syrie

En Syrie, sur la rive orientale de l’Euphrate, la Coalition continue d’appuyer les forces démocratiques syriennes luttant contre les dernières poches de Daech.

La situation n’a pas connu d’évolution notable cette semaine.

Poursuite des actions de sécurisation en Irak

En Irak, les forces de sécurité irakiennes maintiennent un maillage territorial important et efficace.

A Bagdad, la sécurisation du pèlerinage d’AL Khadim qui s’est terminé le 13 avril a été un succès indéniable, dans la mesure où aucun incident sécuritaire n’est venu le perturber. Ce succès démontre à la fois le professionnalisme des forces de sécurité irakiennes et l’incapacité de Daech à reprendre l’initiative dans la capitale.

Dans le reste du pays, les forces de sécurité irakiennes ont maintenu un rythme opérationnel soutenu, permettant de continuer à renforcer la sécurisation du territoire.

ACTIVITE DE LA FORCE

La Task force Narvik forme les tireurs d’élite irakiens

Depuis le 10 mars, les instructeurs français de la Task Force Narvik conduisent au côté de leurs homologues polonais, une formation de tireur d’élite au profit des soldats irakiens de l’Iraqi Counter Terrorism Service (ICTS).

Au cours de la formation, leur seront transmis les enseignements de base sur l’infiltration, le renseignement et le tir de précision. Pendant cette formation, les stagiaires approfondissent leurs connaissances en camouflage, infiltration, renseignement et tir de précision.

La Task Force Wagram en appui des opérations de sécurisation

La Task Force Wagram poursuit son appui aux opérations de sécurisation menées par les forces de sécurité irakiennes dans la vallée de l’Euphrate. Cette semaine, trois missions de tirs, deux d’éclairement et une d’interdiction, ont été réalisées (bilan du 11 au 17 avril).

Depuis le début de sa mission, la TF Wagram a réalisé 1651 missions de tirs.

Les bases aériennes en Jordanie et aux EAU en appui des opérations

L’activité des forces aériennes françaises engagées dans l’opération Chammal se concentre sur l’appui aux forces démocratiques syriennes engagées dans la vallée de l’Euphrate pour réduire les deux dernières poches de Daech en Syrie.

Dans ce cadre, les aéronefs engagés dans l’opération Chammal ont réalisé cette semaine 28 sorties aériennes en appui des forces locales engagées au sol (bilan du 11 au 17 avril). Aucune frappe n’a été réalisée.

Bilan total depuis le 19/09/14 :

7993 sorties / 1448 frappes / 2238 objectifs neutralisés.

Poursuite des combats en Syrie

En Syrie, sur la rive orientale de l’Euphrate, la Coalition continue d’appuyer les forces démocratiques syriennes luttant contre les dernières poches de Daech.

Cette semaine, ces dernières ont repris à Daech une vingtaine de km2 de champs pétroliers, les privant ainsi de sources de revenus.

Poursuite des actions de sécurisation en Irak

En Irak, les forces de sécurité irakiennes maintiennent un maillage territorial important et efficace.

Elles assurent actuellement la sécurisation du pèlerinage d’Al Khadim, qui se déroule jusqu’au 13 avril et devrait attirer de l’ordre de 8 millions de pèlerins à Bagdad. Jusqu’à aujourd’hui, aucun incident n’est à déplorer, démontrant l’amélioration de la situation sécuritaire en Irak et l’autonomie croissante des forces de sécurité irakiennes.

En parallèle, les opérations de sécurisation menées par les forces de sécurité irakiennes se poursuivent à un rythme élevé. Cette semaine, en Ninive, plus de 600 engins explosifs improvisés et 3000 détonateurs ont été détruits, et plusieurs terroristes arrêtés.

Ces dernières semaines la TF Narvik s’est ainsi engagée aux côtés de soldats polonais dans l’instruction d’une quarantaine de tireurs d’élite de l’Iraki Counter Terrorism Service (ICTS).

Dans le même temps, la TF Monsabert, accompagnée de spécialistes de la TF Wagram, a renforcé les instructeurs norvégiens chargés de la formation de la 7e division d’infanterie irakienne pour apporter leur expertise à une campagne de tir de canon 155 mm.

Military Strikes Continue Against Daesh Terrorists in Syria and Iraq

SOUTHWEST ASIA – Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve and its partners continue to strike Daesh targets in designated parts of Syria and Iraq.

April 1, 2018

Ongoing operations by Iraqi Security Forces and Syrian Democratic Forces, supported by CJTF-OIR efforts, demonstrate that much work remains to defeat Daesh here. Coalition strikes continue to target Daesh in SDF-held areas of Syria, and throughout Iraq under the leadership of Iraqi authorities. “All Coalition air strikes are carried out with the consent of the Iraqi government,” said Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi in a press conference April 1, 2018.

Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve and its partners continue to exert pressure on Daesh senior leaders and associates in order to degrade, disrupt and dismantle Daesh structures and remove terrorists throughout Iraq and Syria. This will prevent the terrorist group’s ability to resurge and resume its capacity to threaten and destabilize the international community.

Notes

For March 21st-27th, France reports that the Wagram Task Force continued its support for security operations carried out by Iraqi security forces in the Euphrates Valley. This week, four shooting missions – all lighting missions – were carried out

Since the beginning of its mission, TF Wagram has carried out 1639 firing missions.

The activity of the French Air Forces engaged in Operation Chammal focused on supporting the Syrian democratic forces engaged in the Euphrates Valley to reduce the last two pockets of ISIS in Syria. In this context, the aircraft engaged in Operation Chammal made 23 air sorties in support of local forces engaged on the ground. A strike was made in the Tal Afar region of Iraq.

CHAMMAL

SITUATION MILITAIRE DU THEATRE

Sur le théâtre irako-syrien, les opérations se poursuivent. Les objectifs restent inchangés : défaire les dernières poches terroristes en Syrie et renforcer la sécurisation du territoire irakien.

Poursuite des combats en Syrie

En Syrie, dans la vallée de l’Euphrate, la coalition continue d’appuyer les forces démocratiques syriennes luttant contre Daech. Celles-ci s’attachent à réduire les deux dernières poches de Daech présentes sur les rives orientales de l’Euphrate, autour de Dashisha et Al Qaim, objectif qui prend du temps du fait de la complexité de la situation en Syrie. Les mauvaises conditions météorologiques régulières dans la zone limitent également les capacités de l’appui aérien apportées par la coalition, ralentissant de fait la progression des forces locales présentes au sol.

Poursuite des actions de sécurisation en Irak

En Irak, les forces de sécurité irakiennes maintiennent un maillage territorial important et efficace.

Elles conduisent également des opérations de sécurisation ponctuelles d’ampleur variable, opérations auxquelles la coalition apporte son soutien à leur demande. Leur effort se concentre actuellement sur les régions de Mossoul, d’Hawijah et de Ramadi, où elles obtiennent des résultats conséquents avec des découvertes quotidiennes d’engins explosifs improvisés, d’armements et la capture régulière de terroristes.

ACTIVITE DE LA FORCE

Les Task Force Monsabert et Narvik poursuivent la formation des forces de sécurité irakiennes

En Irak, le rythme des actions de formation se maintient à un niveau élevé afin d’amener l’armée irakienne vers toujours plus d’autonomie. Les Task Force Monsabert et Narvik y participent activement et directement.

Elles sont actuellement impliquées dans de nombreux stages au profit de près de 300 soldats des forces de sécurité irakiennes. Ces formations couvrent un large spectre de domaines, allant du secourisme au tir, en passant par la lutte contre les engins explosifs improvisés, le déplacement tactique en véhicule et le combat en localité.

La Task Force Wagram en appui des opérations de sécurisation

La Task Force Wagram poursuit son appui aux opérations de sécurisation menées par les forces de sécurité irakiennes dans la vallée de l’Euphrate. Cette semaine, quatre missions de tirs, toutes d’éclairement, ont été réalisées (bilan du 21 au 27 mars).

Depuis le début de sa mission, la TF Wagram a réalisé 1639 missions de tirs.

Les bases aériennes en Jordanie et aux EAU en appui des opérations

L’activité des forces aériennes françaises engagées dans l’opération Chammal se concentre sur l’appui aux forces démocratiques syriennes engagées dans la vallée de l’Euphrate pour réduire les deux dernières poches de Daech en Syrie.

Dans ce cadre, les aéronefs engagés dans l’opération Chammal ont réalisé cette semaine 23 sorties aériennes en appui des forces locales engagées au sol (bilan du 21 au 27 mars). Une frappe a été réalisée dans la région de Tal Afar en Irak.

Military Strikes Continue Against Daesh Terrorists in Syria and Iraq

SOUTHWEST ASIA – Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve and its partners continue to strike Daesh targets in designated parts of Syria and Iraq.

Ongoing operations by Iraqi Security Forces and Syrian Democratic Forces, supported by CJTF-OIR efforts, demonstrate that much work remains to defeat Daesh here. The Coalition and our partners continue to exert pressure on Daesh senior leaders and associates in order to degrade, disrupt and dismantle Daesh structures and remove the terrorists throughout Iraq and Syria. This will prevent the terrorist group’s ability to resurge and resume its capacity to threaten and destabilize the international community.

Report Date

March 9, 2018

Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve and its partners continue to strike Daesh targets in designated parts of Syria and Iraq.

Ongoing operations by Iraqi Security Forces and Syrian Democratic Forces, supported by CJTF-OIR efforts, demonstrate that much work remains to defeat Daesh here. The Coalition and our partners continue to exert pressure on Daesh senior leaders and associates across multiple networks in order to degrade, disrupt, and dismantle Daesh structures and remove the extremist terrorists throughout Iraq and Syria. This will prevent the terrorist group’s ability to regroup and resume its capacity to threaten citizens of all nations.

Weekly Strike Summary

Between Mar. 2 and Mar. 8, Coalition military forces conducted 20 strikes consisting of 30 engagements in Syria and Iraq.

On Mar. 8 in Syria, Coalition military forces conducted two strikes consisting of two engagements against Daesh targets. • Near Abu Kamal, two strikes [1 British?] destroyed a Daesh supply route and a UAV.

There were no reported strikes conducted in Iraq on Mar. 8, 2018.

On Mar. 4 in Iraq, Coalition military forces conducted one strike consisting of one engagement against Daesh targets. • Near Hawijah, one strike engaged a Daesh tactical unit and destroyed a Daesh tunnel and a weapons cache.

On Mar. 3 in Syria, Coalition military forces conducted three strikes consisting of three engagements against Daesh targets. • Near Abu Kamal, two strikes engaged two Daesh tactical units. • Near Al Shadaddi, one strike destroyed five Daesh-held buildings.

Additionally, we received late reporting of one strike consisting of six engagements conducted in Syria against Daesh targets on Mar. 1 near Abu Kamal, engaging a Daesh tactical unit and destroying a weapons cache, 11 VBIEDs and a VBIED storage facility.

These strikes were conducted as part of Operation Inherent Resolve, the operation to destroy Daesh in Iraq and Syria. The destruction of Daesh targets in Iraq and Syria also further limits the group’s ability to project terror and conduct external operations throughout the region and the rest of the world.

This Coalition 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 Coalition 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. The information used to compile the daily strike releases is based on “Z” or Greenwich Mean Time.

OPÉRATION CHAMMAL

SITUATION MILITAIRE DU THEATRE

Sur le théâtre irako-syrien, les opérations se poursuivent. Les objectifs demeurent de défaire les dernières poches terroristes en Syrie et de sécuriser le territoire irakien.

Poursuite des combats en Syrie

En Syrie, les forces démocratiques syriennes poursuivent leur effort contre les dernières poches de Daech en Syrie présentes sur les rives orientales de l’Euphrate, l’une située autour de Dashisha le long de la frontière avec l’Irak et l’autre dans la vallée de l’Euphrate à proximité d’Abou Kamal, autour de la ville d’Hajin.

Poursuite des actions de sécurisation en Irak

En Irak, conduisant une vingtaine d’opérations par semaine, les forces de sécurité irakiennes poursuivent la sécurisation du territoire.

Ces opérations se concentrent autour des principales agglomérations, mais aussi dans le désert de l’Anbar où de nombreuses caches terroristes ont été récemment décelées et détruites.

Retour progressif des réfugiés en Irak

En Irak, la situation des populations civiles revient progressivement à la normale. Au cours des deux dernières semaines, principalement dans la province de Ninive, environ cent trente mille personnes déplacées ont rejoint leurs localités d’origine.

ACTIVITÉ DE LA FORCE

Formation au profit des forces de sécurité irakiennes

En fin de semaine dernière, la Task Force Narvik a terminé un stage de quatre semaines au profit des forces de sécurité irakiennes.

Ce stage s’est déroulé du 6 février au 1er mars et a permis de former aux techniques d’infiltration une vingtaine de soldats irakiens appartenant à l’Iraqi Counter Terrorism Service (ICTS), unité d’élite des forces de sécurité irakiennes.

Les principaux savoir-faire transmis ont été la lutte contre les IED, le combat en zone urbaine, les techniques d’infiltration et de reconnaissance dans la profondeur et le secourisme au combat.

La Task Force Wagram en appui des opérations de sécurisation

La Task Force Wagram poursuit son appui aux opérations de sécurisation menées par les forces de sécurité irakiennes dans la vallée de l’Euphrate. Cette semaine, quatre missions de tirs ont été réalisées (2 missions d’interdiction et 2 missions d’éclairement – bilan du 28 février au 6 mars).

Depuis le début de sa mission, la TF Wagram, a réalisé 1629 missions de tirs.

Les bases aériennes en Jordanie et aux EAU en appui des opérations

L’activité des forces aériennes françaises engagées dans l’opération Chammal se concentre sur l’appui aux forces démocratiques syriennes combattant dans la vallée de l’Euphrate.

Dans ce cadre, les aéronefs engagés dans l’opération Chammal ont réalisé cette semaine 30 sorties aériennes orientées sur l’appui renseignement aux forces locales engagées au sol (bilan du 28 février au 6 mars). Aucune frappe n’a été réalisée.

Bilan total depuis le 19/09/14 :

7845 sorties / 1443 frappes / 2233 objectifs neutralisés.

Wednesday 28 February – Typhoons attacked two Daesh armoured vehicles in eastern Syria, and cratered a road to prevent it being used to move supplies or truck-bombs…Royal Air Force aircraft continued to fly daily armed reconnaissance patrols over eastern Syria, but the next air strikes did not occur until Wednesday 28 February. One flight of Typhoons delivered attacks with Paveway IVs against two Daesh armoured vehicles spotted by the Syrian Democratic Forces to the north-east of Abu Kamal, with one of the weapons being accurately delivered through cloud against a target which the aircrew could not themselves see. A second Typhoon flight conducted Paveway attacks on a key road in the area, cratering it to prevent the terrorists from moving equipment along it, particularly heavy truck-bombs.
