Offensive contre les dernières poches de Daech en Syrie

En Syrie, les forces démocratiques syriennes conduisent actuellement l’offensive finale contre les dernières poches de Daech présentes au nord-est de la Syrie.

Dans ce cadre, le nombre de frappes menées par la Coalition en mai a augmenté de 123 % par rapport à son niveau du mois d’avril.

L’offensive est coordonnée avec les forces de sécurité irakiennes qui ont augmenté leur présence le long de la frontière irako-syrienne pour empêcher toute fuite de terroristes des zones de combat vers l’Irak.

Operation Roundup targets Daesh remnants

SOUTHWEST ASIA – Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve and its partners have increased offensive activity against Daesh targets in designated parts of Iraq and Syria throughout the month of May.

Since the May 1 start of Operation Roundup, Syrian Democratic Forces resumed major offensive operations in the Middle Euphrates River Valley. Since then, the SDF has continued to gain ground through offensive operations, coupled with precision Coalition strike support.

During the month of May, the Coalition has conducted 225 strikes with 280 engagements. This demonstrates a 304% increase over the 74 strikes conducted in March, and a 123% increase over the 183 strikes recorded in April 2018.

Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve and its partner forces 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. Daesh morale is sinking on the frontlines as privileged Daesh leaders increasingly abandon their own fighters on the battlefield, taking resources with them as they flee.

Over the coming weeks, Operation Roundup will continue to build momentum against Daesh remnants remaining in the Iraq-Syria border region and the MERV. The Coalition remains committed to the lasting defeat of Daesh here, increasing peace and stability in the region and protecting all our homelands from the Daesh threat.

Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve Monthly Civilian Casualty Report

SOUTHWEST ASIA– Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve is committed to working by, with and through our Iraqi Security Forces and Syrian Democratic Forces partners to defeat Daesh in designated parts of Iraq and Syria, and helping set the conditions for follow-on operations to increase regional stability.

CJTF-OIR provides our partners appropriate equipment, advice and assistance to achieve our mission and attain the lasting defeat of Daesh. Support to partners also includes precision strikes preceded by a rigorous targeting process that aims at all times to minimize effects on non-combatant populations and civilian infrastructure.

The Coalition conducted a total of 29,358 strikes between August 2014 and end of April 2018. During this period, based on information available, CJTF-OIR assesses at least 892 civilians have been unintentionally killed by Coalition strikes since the start of Operation Inherent Resolve.

In the month of April, CJTF-OIR carried over 476 open reports from previous months and received four new reports. The assessment of 159 civilian casualty reports have been completed. Five reports were determined to be credible, resulting in nine unintentional civilian deaths, while 149 were assessed to be non-credible and five to be duplicate. A total of 321 reports are still open.

Credible Reports– In each of five incidents, the investigation assessed that although all feasible precautions were taken and the decision to strike complied with the law of armed conflict, unintended civilian casualties regrettably occurred.

Weekoverzicht Defensieoperaties

Nieuwsbericht | 30-05-2018 | 12:00

De mortiergroep van de langeafstandsverkenningseenheid in Mali is gecertificeerd voor het gebruik van 81 mm mortieren. Het meer dan 7 maanden durende schietverbod is daarmee voor de eenheid opgeheven. Een overzicht van Defensieoperaties in de week van 23 tot en met 29 mei 2018.

Het schietverbod werd vorig jaar afgekondigd nadat de prestaties van het wapen bleken af te wijken. Dat was het gevolg van drukverlies tijdens het droppen van mortieren in de schietbuis. Ruim een week geleden werd de mortiergroep van de Nederlandse NAVO-bijdrage in Litouwen om dezelfde reden opnieuw gecertificeerd.

Midden-Oosten

Nederlandse F-16’s vielen ter ondersteuning van grondtroepen bij 2 missies ISIS-hoofdkwartieren aan. Dat gebeurde in de omgeving van Abu Kamal en Hajin in de provincie Deir Al Zour in Oost-Syrië.

De jachtvliegtuigen ondersteunden de grondtroepen de afgelopen week tijdens 8 missies. Bij 2 daarvan werden wapens ingezet. Nederland neemt boven Irak en Oost-Syrië in coalitieverband deel aan de strijd tegen terreurorganisatie ISIS.

Militaire instructeurs in Irak leren Koerdische strijders gebieden te beveiligen. Daarbij staan onder meer wapenhandelingen, medische verzorging, oorlogsrecht en civiel-militaire samenwerking op het programma. Door de coalitie opgeleide instructeurs verzorgen zelf ook al een deel van de opleiding.

Monday 28 May – Tornados bombed two terrorists in northern Iraq…On Monday 28 May, a Tornado flight responded to a similar request for assistance when two Daesh extremists were spotted on a hillside in northern Iraq, some miles to the north of Makhmur; our aircraft delivered an attack with a Paveway IV.

Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve and its partners have increased offensive activity against Daesh targets in designated parts of Iraq and Syria throughout the month of May.

On May 1, the Syrian Democratic Forces announced the resumption of major offensive operations in the Middle Euphrates River Valley. Since then, the SDF has continued to gain ground through offensive operations, coupled with precision Coalition strike support.

During the first 24 days of May, the Coalition has conducted 184 strikes with 231 engagements. This demonstrates a 147% increase over the 74 strikes conducted in March, and surpassed OIR’s strike tempo of 183 strikes recorded for the entire month of April 2018.

Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve and its partner forces 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. Daesh morale is sinking on the frontlines as privileged Daesh leaders increasingly abandon their own fighters on the battlefield, taking resources with them as they flee.

Over the coming weeks, Operation Roundup will continue to build momentum against Daesh remnants remaining in the Iraq-Syria border region and the MERV. The Coalition remains committed to the lasting defeat of Daesh here, increasing peace and stability in the region and protecting all our homelands from the Daesh threat.

CHAMMAL

SITUATION MILITAIRE DU THEATRE

Sur le théâtre irako-syrien, cette semaine a été marquée par la poursuite de l’offensive contre les dernières emprises territoriales de Daech en Syrie et par le bon déroulement des élections parlementaires en Irak.

Offensive contre les dernières poches daechies en Syrie

En Syrie, l’offensive menée contre les dernières poches de Daech dans la vallée de l’Euphrate suit son cours. Menée par les forces démocratiques syriennes, elle est appuyée par la Coalition et coordonnée avec les forces de sécurité irakiennes positionnées en interdiction de leur côté de la frontière.

Depuis le 1er mai et le lancement de l’offensive, plus de 30 km2 de terrain ont été repris à Daech.

Poursuite des actions de sécurisation en Irak

En Irak, les forces de sécurité irakiennes ont été principalement engagées dans la sécurisation des élections parlementaires qui se sont déroulées sans incident majeur. La France a participé à aider les Irakiens, en particulier avec un stage d’apprentissage à l’utilisation de drones qui ont permis la surveillance des abords de certains points de vote.

En parallèle, les opérations des forces de sécurité irakiennes se sont poursuivies, en particulier dans les secteurs de Tal Afar et Mossoul.

ACTIVITE DE LA FORCE

Formation au profit des forces de sécurité irakiennes

Les instructeurs de la Task Force Narvik ont débuté depuis le 29 avril l’enseignement d’un nouveau module intitulé « Intelligence Collecting Course » au profit des forces de sécurité irakiennes.

Ce stage a pour but de former des petites unités autonomes capables de s’infiltrer, de se dissimuler, de collecter, d’analyser et de faire remonter des informations afin de fournir du renseignement tactique et appuyer le commandement.

Cette nouvelle formation dure un mois, deux semaines de cours théoriques suivies par deux semaines de pratique.

De Nederlandse militairen in Mali trainden een medische evacuatie voor een gewonde militair. Het ging om een realistisch onaangekondigd scenario. Een overzicht van Defensieoperaties in de week van 16 tot en met 22 mei 2018.

Een Nederlandse militair raakt gewond. Collega’s stabiliseren hem en leggen drukverbanden aan om de bloedingen te stoppen. Er wordt al snel een medische evacuatie aangevraagd: een NH90 van het Duits-Belgische helikopterdetachement.

Een helikopter met gespecialiseerde Belgische bemanning landt. De NH90 met patiënt vertrekt naar Gao. Het role 1-hospitaal is gewaarschuwd. In Gao staat een gepantserde Duitse Fuchs klaar. Die brengt de gewonde militair met spoed naar het Nederlandse role 1.

Natuurlijk worden alle elementen van deze oefening grondig en internationaal geëvalueerd. Want over 5 minuten kan het echt zijn.

Midden-Oosten

In de strijd tegen terreurorganisatie ISIS ondersteunden Nederlandse F-16’s grondtroepen tijdens 8 missies. Dat gebeurde in de provincie Deir Al Zour in Oost-Syrië en nabij de Iraakse provincie Al Abar. Bij geen van de missies zijn wapens ingezet.

Militaire instructeurs in Irak leren Koerdische strijders gebieden te beveiligen. Daarbij staan onder meer wapenhandelingen, medische verzorging, oorlogsrecht en civiel-militaire samenwerking op het programma. De door de coalitie opgeleide instructeurs verzorgen zelf ook een deel van de opleiding.

Chammal : destruction d’un bâtiment logistique de Daech par les Rafale de la base aérienne projetée en Jordanie

Mise à jour : 24/05/2018

Dans la nuit du 14 au 15 mai 2018, une patrouille de deux Rafale équipés de bombes à guidage de précision a décollé de la base aérienne projetée en Jordanie pour réaliser une frappe sur un bâtiment logistique de Daech dans la vallée de l’Euphrate en Syrie.

L’opération était double : après avoir rejoint la Syrie, les Rafale ont d’abord réalisé une mission de Close Air Support afin d’appuyer les troupes au sol engagées dans l’offensive contre le dernier bastion de Daech. À l’issue, ils ont réalisé une frappe planifiée et ordonnée par le centre des opérations aériennes de la coalition (CAOC), situé sur la base aérienne d’Al Udeid au Qatar, qui visait à détruire un bâtiment logistique utilisé par l’organisation terroriste.

Une reconnaissance du site en coordination avec un drone de la coalition et le dialogue avec un contrôleur aérien avancé ont permis de s’assurer de l’absence de risque de dommage collatéral. L’équipier a procédé au tir d’une bombe de précision « AASM », pour armement air-sol modulaire, de 250kg, la cible étant « illuminée » par le leader, c’est-à-dire guidée laser jusqu’à l’impact. La munition a impacté au centre du bâtiment permettant à cette frappe d’atteindre tous les effets militaires recherchés.

Il aura fallu trois ravitaillements et six heures de vol aux deux Rafale pour accomplir cette mission qui traduit la détermination des armées françaises à poursuivre la lutte pour détruire les résidus de l’organisation terroriste Daesh.

Lancée depuis le 19 septembre 2014, l’opération Chammal représente la participation française à l’OIR (opération Inherent Resolve) et mobilise aujourd’hui près de 1 100 militaires. À la demande du gouvernement irakien et en coordination avec les alliés de la France présents dans la région, l’opération Chammal repose sur deux piliers complémentaires : un pilier « formation» au profit d’unités de sécurité nationales irakiennes et un pilier « appui » consistant à soutenir l’action des forces locales engagées au sol contre Daech et à frapper les capacités militaires du groupe terroriste.
