Five French aircraft carried out a raid on Mosul

Le 04 juillet 2016, cinq aéronefs déployés au Moyen-Orient dans le cadre de l’opération Chammal ont réalisé plusieurs frappes contre des positions de Daech dans la région de Mossoul.

Deux Mirage 2000D et un Atlantique2 de la Marine nationale qui venaient de la base aérienne projetée en Jordanie ont participé à cette frappe. Ils étaient accompagnés de deux Rafale stationnés dans le golfe arabo-persique. Les cinq aéronefs ont évolué dans une même zone, au sud-est de Mossoul.

Les deux Mirage 2000D et un Rafale ont dans un premier temps frappé simultanément plusieurs bâtiments, dans lesquels les combattants ennemis se trouvaient retranchés. Après un ravitaillement en vol, les Mirage 2000D ont ensuite illuminé des cibles dans la même zone au profit de l’Atlantique2 et d’un Rafale, qui ont à cette occasion pu procéder à deux tirs.

L’ensemble des objectifs identifiés ont été totalement détruits, permettant ainsi d’affaiblir sérieusement le dispositif défensif de Daech dans ce secteur.

Cette opération coordonnée, qui a impliqué plusieurs acteurs, illustre l’interopérabilité entre les équipages de la force Chammal, qu’ils soient de l’armée de l’Air ou de la Marine nationale. Pour l’Atlantique2 basé en Jordanie, cette frappe était la 7e réalisée sur le théâtre depuis le lancement de l’opération et la première depuis le mois d’avril.

Lancée depuis le 19 septembre 2014, l’opération Chammal mobilise actuellement 1000 militaires. Elle vise, à la demande du gouvernement irakien et en coordination avec les alliés de la France présents dans la région, à assurer un soutien aérien en Irak et en Syrie dans la lutte contre le groupe terroriste autoproclamé Daech, en frappant l’organisation terroriste avec ses moyens aériens. Le dispositif complet est actuellement structuré autour de quatorze avions de chasse de l’armée de l’Air (six Rafale, cinq Mirage 2000D et trois Mirage 2000N) d’un avion de patrouille maritime Atlantique2 de la Marine nationale ainsi que de capacités de renseignement, de commandement, de contrôle (C2) et de ravitaillement. Il comprend également une centaine de militaires projetés à Bagdad et Erbil pour la formation et le conseil des états-majors et unités irakiennes.

* Near Ramadi, two strikes struck two separate ISIL tactical units and destroyed four ISIL vehicles and an ISIL boat.

* Near Sinjar, one strike suppressed an ISIL mortar system.

Strike assessments are based on initial reports. All aircraft returned to base safely.

A strike, as defined in the CJTF releases, means one or more kinetic events that occur in roughly the same geographic location to produce a single, sometimes cumulative effect for that location. So having a single aircraft deliver a single weapon against a lone ISIL vehicle is one strike, but so is multiple aircraft delivering dozens of weapons against a group of buildings and vehicles and weapon systems in a compound, for example, having the cumulative effect of making that facility (or facilities) harder or impossible to use. Accordingly, 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.

Ground-based artillery fired in counter-fire or in fire support to maneuver roles are not classified as a strike as defined by CJTF-OIR.

The strikes were conducted as part of Operation Inherent Resolve, the operation to eliminate the ISIL terrorist group and the threat they pose to Iraq, Syria, and the wider international community.

The destruction of ISIL targets in Syria and Iraq further limits the group’s ability to project terror and conduct operations. Coalition nations which have conducted strikes in Iraq include Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Jordan, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, and the United States. Coalition nations which have conducted strikes in Syria include Australia, Bahrain, Canada, France, Jordan, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Notes

Speaking at Volkel Air Base, Defense Minister Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert says that since August 2014 ISIS have lost over 25,000 km2 area in Iraq and more than 9,000 km2 in Syria, and that since October 2014, Dutch F-16s have flown at least 2,100 missions and used their weapons at least 1,800 times.

Hennis bij terugkeer F-16’s: “ISIS is nog niet van ons af”

Nieuwsbericht | 30-06-2016 | 17:00

“Onze F-16’s hebben een cruciale rol vervuld in het verzwakken en terugdringen van ISIS.” Dat zei minister van Defensie Jeanine Hennis-Plasschaert vandaag op Vliegbasis Volkel. Ze verwelkomde er de jachtvliegers, die terugkeerden uit het Midden-Oosten. “Maar”, zei ze, “de strijd gaat onverminderd door.”

Volgens Hennis toont de recente aanslag op de luchthaven van Istanbul dat de terreurorganisatie een kat in het nauw is. “Juist nu is volharding nodig. De Belgen hebben het stokje van ons overgenomen, een teken dat we als coalitie eensgezind en samen de strijd tegen ISIS voortzetten.”

Vruchten

Nederlandse militairen zorgen in het Midden-Oosten nog voor de beveiliging van het Belgische detachement. “Ook in Irak gaan onze militairen door met het trainen van Koerdische Peshmerga-strijders en Iraakse special forces”, voegt Hennis toe. “Dat dit zijn vruchten afwerpt blijkt uit de recente strijd om Fallujah en de druk die steeds verder wordt opgevoerd rond Mosul. ISIS is dus nog niet van ons af.”

erreinverlies ISIS 34.000 km2

Over de resultaten die Nederland samen met coalitiepartners boekte, is Hennis tevreden. “Sinds augustus 2014 verloor ISIS ruim 25.000 km2 gebied in Irak en meer dan 9.000 km2 in Syrië. De Nederlandse F-16’s vlogen, sinds hun bijdrage aan de luchtcampagne in oktober 2014, minimaal 2.100 missies. Daarbij zijn tenminste 1.800 keer wapens ingezet.”

Dat gebeurde bijvoorbeeld bij het ondersteunen van grondtroepen in Irak tijdens hun gevechten tegen ISIS. Ook bombardeerden de luchtmachtmilitairen doelen van de terreurorganisatie, zoals wapenopslagplaatsen en brandstofdepots in Irak en Oost-Syrië.

Mission Update nr. 2

Opdatering fra de danske styrker indsat i Operation Inherent Resolve

Træningsbidraget

DANCON Hold 3 ved Al Asad Airbase har netop afsluttet et dansk-ledet pilotprojekt. Henover en uge har irakiske stabsofficerer, en brigadechef, fire bataljonschefer samt kompagnichefer fra 7. Division fået undervisning og mulighed for sparring i forhold til igangværende operationer, som de for tiden gennemfører i byen Hit. Officererne er kommet direkte fra fronten, de har modtaget fem timers intensiv træning og sparring og er kort efter taget tilbage til fronten for at bekæmpe ISIL.

Desuden har artilleriobservatører modtaget en uges repetition i påkald og ledelse af skydning med artilleri, så de bedre kan bekæmpe ISIL på længere afstande.

– Det er netop eksempler som de her, der gør træningsmissionen her til noget helt særligt. Det, vi lærer soldaterne fra de irakiske sikkerhedsstyrker, bliver anvendt direkte i de igangværende kampe mod ISIL, siger chefen for DANCON OIR Hold 3, oberstløjtnant Kenneth Strøm.

Kampflybidraget

I den forgangne uge har danske F-16 kampfly været indsat i Operation Inherent Resolve 9 gange, hvor der er blevet angrebet mål i de irakiske provinser Al Anbar, Salah Ad Din og Ninawa. Målene har blandt andet været fjender, der gemte sig i bygninger samt opmarcheringsfaciliteter.

Der er ikke blevet fløjet missioner med de danske F-16 i Syrien i den forgange uge.

Fløjne missioner i den forgangne uge: 9

Antal flyvetimer i den forgangne uge: Knap 100

Præcisionsbomber anvendt i den forgangne uge: 15

I alt er der siden kampflybidragets indsættelse indtil onsdag den 29. juni klokken 06.00 blevet fløjet 17 missioner og anvendt 23 bomber.

Radarbidraget

Radaren har inden for den seneste uge kørt uden større vanskeligheder og har leveret input til koalitionens samlede luftovervågningsbillede. På nær nogle tekniske udfordringer, som forstyrrede indhentningen, har radarbidraget leveret efter planen.

Mission Update nr. 2

Opdatering fra de danske styrker indsat i Operation Inherent Resolve

Træningsbidraget

DANCON Hold 3 ved Al Asad Airbase har netop afsluttet et dansk-ledet pilotprojekt. Henover en uge har irakiske stabsofficerer, en brigadechef, fire bataljonschefer samt kompagnichefer fra 7. Division fået undervisning og mulighed for sparring i forhold til igangværende operationer, som de for tiden gennemfører i byen Hit. Officererne er kommet direkte fra fronten, de har modtaget fem timers intensiv træning og sparring og er kort efter taget tilbage til fronten for at bekæmpe ISIL.

Desuden har artilleriobservatører modtaget en uges repetition i påkald og ledelse af skydning med artilleri, så de bedre kan bekæmpe ISIL på længere afstande.

– Det er netop eksempler som de her, der gør træningsmissionen her til noget helt særligt. Det, vi lærer soldaterne fra de irakiske sikkerhedsstyrker, bliver anvendt direkte i de igangværende kampe mod ISIL, siger chefen for DANCON OIR Hold 3, oberstløjtnant Kenneth Strøm.

Kampflybidraget

I den forgangne uge har danske F-16 kampfly været indsat i Operation Inherent Resolve 9 gange, hvor der er blevet angrebet mål i de irakiske provinser Al Anbar, Salah Ad Din og Ninawa. Målene har blandt andet været fjender, der gemte sig i bygninger samt opmarcheringsfaciliteter.

Der er ikke blevet fløjet missioner med de danske F-16 i Syrien i den forgange uge.

Fløjne missioner i den forgangne uge: 9

Antal flyvetimer i den forgangne uge: Knap 100

Præcisionsbomber anvendt i den forgangne uge: 15

I alt er der siden kampflybidragets indsættelse indtil onsdag den 29. juni klokken 06.00 blevet fløjet 17 missioner og anvendt 23 bomber.

Le 28 juin 2016, deux patrouilles d’avions de chasse français basés au Levant et dans le golfe arabo-persique ont frappé plusieurs objectifs de Daech en Syrie à Abu Kamal. Cette ville située à la frontière immédiate de l’Irak est un carrefour fluvial et routier stratégique.

Insérés dans un groupe aérien conséquent aux côtés de plusieurs avions de chasse de la Coalition, une première patrouille de deux Mirage 2000D et deux Rafale a été engagée dans une frappe contre un camp d’entrainement de Daech. Particulièrement étendu, celui-ci servait à entraîner les combattants terroristes au maniement d’armes lourdes. Une seconde patrouille de deux Mirage 2000D a elle frappé quelques heures plus tard une caserne situé dans le même secteur.

Lancée depuis le 19 septembre 2014, l’opération Chammal mobilise actuellement 1000 militaires. Elle vise, à la demande du gouvernement irakien et en coordination avec les alliés de la France présents dans la région, à assurer un soutien aérien en Irak et en Syrie dans la lutte contre le groupe terroriste autoproclamé Daech, en frappant l’organisation terroriste avec ses moyens aériens. Le dispositif complet est actuellement structuré autour de quatorze avions de chasse de l’armée de l’Air (six Rafale, cinq Mirage 2000D et trois Mirage 2000N) d’un avion de patrouille maritime Atlantique2 de la Marine nationale ainsi que de capacités de renseignement, de commandement, de contrôle (C2) et de ravitaillement. Il comprend également une centaine de militaires projetés à Bagdad et Erbil pour la formation et le conseil des états-majors et unités irakiennes.

Chammal

Cette semaine, la situation militaire a été marquée par la libération de la ville de Falloujah en Irak. Elle témoigne d’un nouvel affaiblissement de Daech, qui subit à cette occasion un revers militaire supplémentaire.

Pour autant, même s’il a perdu l’initiative, le groupe terroriste conserve un appareil militaire combatif. Il reste engagé dans une défense discontinue des territoires qu’il tient depuis 2014.

En Irak, les Forces de sécurité irakiennes (FSI) ont progressé dans la vallée de l’Anbar où elles font toujours face à une résistance importante dans la vallée du Tigre.

Dans l’Anbar, la semaine a été marquée par la libération de Falloujah. Si Daech a perdu la bataille, des opérations de sécurisation doivent encore être menées. L’organisation terroriste a tenu la ville pendant plus de deux ans et a très largement miné le terrain.

La vallée du Tigre fait l’objet de plus durs combats. Les forces irakiennes ont réussi à s’emparer de quelques villages aux sorties Nord de la ville de Baïji, au prix de nombreux efforts. Elles font désormais face aux premières défenses qui interdisent, pour l’heure, la progression en direction de Mossoul.

En Syrie, la coalition fournit toujours son appui aux opérations de libération de la ville de Manbij. Daech résiste quartier par quartier et utilise toutes les formes du combat insurrectionnel pour freiner la reprise de la ville.

ACTIVITES DE LA FORCE CHAMMAL

La force Chammal poursuit la campagne aérienne et les missions de formation et de conseil.

Du 22 au 28 juin 2016, les aéronefs de l’opération Chammal ont poursuivi leurs missions aériennes contre Daech, en réalisant 44 sorties dont 38 de bombardement et 6 de recueil de renseignement.

Elles ont permis la réalisation de 17 frappes, aboutissant à la destruction de 38 objectifs de Daech.

Parmi les sites visés, trois ont fait l’objet d’attaques planifiées, l’une en Irak et deux autres en Syrie.

Quatorze frappes d’appui au sol ont été réalisées en Irak au cours de la semaine. La force Chammal a poursuivi ses missions d’appui au sol en soutien des forces de sécurité irakiennes, en faisant effort sur les secteurs de Ramādī, Falloujah et Qayyarah.

Trois frappes planifiées ont été conduites en Irak et en Syrie :

Le 25 juin en Irak, une patrouille de deux Rafale a réalisé une frappe dans la région d’ Akashat. Cette mission a permis de détruire site d’assemblage de véhicules suicides.

Update on new operations in Iraq and Syria

Na een jaar keert het kroonjuweel van de Belgische Luchtcomponent terug naar de vliegbasis van waaruit de coalitie de strijd aangaat met DAESH”, vertelt generaal-majoor vlieger Frederik Vansina, commandant van de Luchtcomponent. Hij was erbij toen het Nederlandse detachement op 28 juni het commando overdroeg aan de Belgen.

Operation Inherent Resolve omvat de strijd tegen DAESH die de coalitie onder leiding van de Verenigde Staten sinds september 2014 in het Midden-Oosten is aangegaan. Van meet af aan sloegen Belgen en Nederlanders de handen in elkaar om de coalitie vanuit de lucht bij te staan. De Belgische Defensie doopte zijn operatie Desert Falcon (ODF).

De Belgen en Nederlanders doen haasje-over bij hun samenwerking. Terwijl de ene partij zich concentreert op de opdrachten van de gevechtsvliegtuigen, zorgt de ander voor de beveiliging van het detachement binnen de vlieghaven. Vanaf juni 2015 stonden de Belgen in voor de troepenbescherming van het Nederlandse F-16-detachement. Maar op 28 juni vond de overname officieel plaats.

Onder het goedkeurende oog van generaal-majoor vlieger Vansina bedankte de Nederlandse detachementcommandant tijdens een plechtigheid zijn mensen en ook de Belgische beschermingstroepen voor hun inzet. Die manier van samenwerken is uniek binnen de coalitie maar hoe verloopt die? En wat wordt er het komende jaar verwacht van onze F-16’s? Samen met generaal-majoor Vansina werpen we een blik op het verleden, heden en toekomst van operatie Desert Falcon.

Onze F-16’s zijn maandag pas in Kleine-Brogel opgestegen maar donderdag 30 juni kunnen ze hun eerste operationele opdracht al aanvatten. Hoe kan die overname zo snel plaatsvinden?

“De samenwerking tussen de Luchtcomponent en onze noorderburen van de Koninklijke Luchtmacht verloopt subliem. Door internationale oefeningen en operaties hebben we over de jaren heen een vertrouwensband gecreëerd die intussen oersterk is. In die mate zelfs dat we zonder verpinken de veiligheid van het ons F-16-detachement in handen leggen van de Nederlandse troepenbescherming. Los daarvan hebben we door het concept van ‘train together to fight together’ grotendeels dezelfde procedures, technieken en tactieken. Maar het is inderdaad een uniek gegeven binnen de coalitie.”

Samenwerken: ja. Maar waarom is Nederland een uitgelezen partner en wat zijn de voordelen?

“Eerst en vooral hebben we dezelfde gevechtsvliegtuigen, dat is een vereiste. Verder hebben we beide een bescheiden luchtmacht. Naast ODF zal ook de F-16-operatie Enhanced Air Policing Mission (EAPM) in de Baltische regio in 2017 een vervolg krijgen. In totaal kunnen we tien F-16’s operationeel inzetten: zes voor ODF en vier voor EAPM. Maar we moeten ook rekening houden met de mensen en het budget. Om die evenwichtsoefening houdbaar te maken voor een lange periode is een samenwerking meer dan aangewezen.”

Voor een tweede keer vervoegen onze F-16’s de coalitie in het Midden-Oosten en dit voor de periode van een jaar. In welke fase bevindt operatie Inherent Resolve zich momenteel en wat kan het detachement verwachten?

“De eerste fase, de opmars van DAESH een halt toeroepen, is intussen voorbij. Momenteel trachten we in een tweede fase DAESH terug te duwen en te verdelen. Net als tijdens de vorige ODF zullen we in Irak nabije luchtsteun bieden aan grondtroepen en installaties van DAESH aanvallen. Maar dankzij het fiat van de regering zullen voortaan ook installaties in Syrië een doelwit vormen. Luchtsteun bieden aan mogelijke grondtroepen in Syrië is voorlopig niet aan de orde.”

Ondertussen zijn we dus aanbeland in de tweede en meteen ook voorlaatste fase van de operatie. Wat is het uiteindelijke doel van deze inzet?

“Uiteindelijk wil de coalitie idealiter naar een normalisatie van de staat gaan. Om dit te kunnen bereiken trachten we DAESH te verslaan en dat bij voorkeur zonder collaterale schade te veroorzaken. Dat laatste is iets waar onze Luchtcomponent erg veel waarde aan hecht. We staan bekend om onze secuurheid. Hierdoor staan we zeer hoog aangeschreven bij onze internationale luchtmacht-collega’s. Onze geloofwaardigheid is ons handelsmerk.”

Les chasseurs de l’opération Chammal poursuivent leurs missions de destruction des capacités de combat de Daech. Ces dernières 48 heures, ils ont mené 5 frappes et détruit plusieurs objectifs, principalement situés dans la province de l’Anbar. Ils ont ainsi directement contribué à maintenir le rythme des opérations des forces irakiennes qui ont poursuivi, dans le week-end, leurs opérations de reconquête des territoires tenus par l’organisation terroriste.

Les 24 et 25 juin, les Mirage 2000 stationnés en Jordanie ont effectué 4 frappes en appui des forces armées irakiennes dans les régions de Ramadi, Falloujah et Mossoul. Les patrouilles de Mirage sont intervenues à la demande et en appui des FSI, afin de faciliter leur progression sous le feu de combattants de Daech.

Le 25 juin, une patrouille Rafale équipée de missiles AASM a été engagée aux côtés d’avions de la coalition pour détruire un site de production de véhicules piégés dans la région de Rutbah, dans l’Ouest de l’Irak, à une vingtaine de kilomètre de la frontière syrienne. Ciblant la capacité logistique de Daech à approvisionner ses combattants en armement, cette frappe s’inscrit dans la stratégie de déstructuration de l’organisation terroriste.

Lancée depuis le 19 septembre 2014, l’opération Chammal mobilise actuellement 1000 militaires. Elle vise, à la demande du gouvernement irakien et en coordination avec les alliés de la France présents dans la région, à assurer un soutien aérien en Irak et en Syrie dans la lutte contre le groupe terroriste autoproclamé Daech, en frappant l’organisation terroriste avec ses moyens aériens. Le dispositif complet est actuellement structuré autour de quatorze avions de chasse de l’armée de l’Air (six Rafale, cinq Mirage 2000D et trois Mirage 2000N) d’un avion de patrouille maritime Atlantique2 de la Marine nationale, ainsi que de capacités de renseignement, de commandement, de contrôle (C2) et de ravitaillement. Il comprend également une centaine de militaires projetés à Bagdad et Erbil pour la formation et le conseil des états-majors et unités irakiennes.

Dutch F-16s of the Air Task Force Middle East contributed to the liberation of Fallujah. Targets destroyed included Daesh firing positions in the center of town, meaning the security forces were able to advance further. The F-16s also supported Peshmerga near Mosul, where they destroyed heavy weapons and storage sites. In addition to these so-called Close Air Support missions, they conducted a successful a planned attack on a factory where car bombs were made.

Weekoverzicht Defensieoperaties

Nieuwsbericht | 28-06-2016 | 16:00

Zr. Ms. Van Amstel redde 150 migranten op de Middellandse Zee. Het multipurposefregat neemt deel aan een grensbewakingsoperatie van Frontex. Een overzicht van Defensieoperaties in de week van 21 juni tot 27 juni.

Het schip is ook gealarmeerd om ongeveer 1.000 migranten uit het water te halen. Bij aankomst waren ze al door andere schepen gered.

De commandant van de Iraakse veiligheidstroepen verklaarde dat de stad Fallujah volledig op ISIS is heroverd. Wel biedt de terreurorganisatie nog weerstand, vooral in de noordoostelijke wijken. Er is nog veel werk te verzetten; onder meer geïmproviseerde explosieven maken de stad onveilig.

Nederlandse F-16’s van de Air Task Force Middle East droegen bij aan de operatie. De toestellen vernietigden onder meer vuurposities in het centrum van de stad. Daardoor konden de veiligheidstroepen verder oprukken. De F-16’s ondersteunden ook Peshmerga in de omgeving van Mosul, waarbij ze vuurposities met zware wapens en opslaglocaties van ISIS vernietigden. Naast deze zogenoemde Close Air Support-missies voerden ze nog succesvol een geplande aanval uit op een fabriek waar autobommen werden gemaakt.

Trainingen in Irak

De standaardtrainingen voor de Modern Brigade Course 2 zijn in volle gang. De lessen bestaan uit het verbeteren van de schietvaardigheid, eerste hulp onder gevechtsomstandigheden en het tactisch patrouilleren.

Het Mobile Support Team is ook weer ingezet. Er werd les gegeven onder meer op het gebied van optreden in stedelijk gebied, herkennen van geïmproviseerde explosieven en hulp onder gevechtsomstandigheden. De Peshmerga geven aan veel waarde te hechten aan de trainingen.

Lopende operaties buitenland:

In Mali voerde een Chinook-transporthelikopter onder bescherming van een Apache-gevechtshelikopter diverse bevoorradingsvluchten en troepentransporten uit. De Apaches begeleidden meerdere konvooien.

Voor de NAVO-operatie Resolute Support in Afghanistan adviseerden Nederlandse militairen Afghaanse collega’s van krijgsmacht en politie over hoe zij het beste hun werk doen. Vanwege de ramadan zijn de bezoeken met name in de ochtend. Een beveiligingseenheid en een geneeskundig detachement staan de adviseurs bij. De Nederlanders opereren vanuit het noordelijke Mazar-e-Sharif. Tevens zijn er Nederlanders actief op het hoofdkwartier van de missie in Kabul.

Op de Griekse eilanden Chios en Lesbos werken 2 Border Security Teams (BST). Die bestaan uit medewerkers van marechaussee, landmacht, marine, Nationale Politie en het ministerie van Veiligheid en Justitie. Ze screenen, identificeren en registreren migranten. De BST’s werken onder de vlag van Frontex. Dat is het EU-agentschap dat de operationele samenwerking aan de buitengrenzen van de Europese Unie beheert.

Beveiligingsteams van mariniers, zogenoemde vessel protection detachments, beschermden Nederlandse schepen tegen mogelijke aanvallen van piraten.

Zr. Ms. Groningen voert als stationsschip in het Caribisch gebied kustwachttaken en antidrugsoperaties uit. Een Cougar-transporthelikopter doet dat ook vanuit Hato, Curaçao.

Lopende operaties/acties binnenland:

De landmacht ondersteunde de Koninklijke Marechaussee bij de grensbewaking in de zeehavens.

De Explosieven Opruimingsdienst Defensie maakte meer dan 20 bommen onschadelijk, voornamelijk uit de Tweede Wereldoorlog.

Defensie hielp de politie bij strafrechtelijke onderzoeken. Een zogenoemd Advanced Search Team kamden diverse panden en percelen uit op 2 locaties bij Den Bosch.

The F-16s also supported Peshmerga near Mosul, where they destroyed heavy weapons and storage sites. In addition to these so-called Close Air Support missions, they conducted a successful a planned attack on a factory where car bombs were made.

Weekoverzicht Defensieoperaties

Nieuwsbericht | 28-06-2016 | 16:00

Zr. Ms. Van Amstel redde 150 migranten op de Middellandse Zee. Het multipurposefregat neemt deel aan een grensbewakingsoperatie van Frontex. Een overzicht van Defensieoperaties in de week van 21 juni tot 27 juni.

Het schip is ook gealarmeerd om ongeveer 1.000 migranten uit het water te halen. Bij aankomst waren ze al door andere schepen gered.

ATF-ME

De commandant van de Iraakse veiligheidstroepen verklaarde dat de stad Fallujah volledig op ISIS is heroverd. Wel biedt de terreurorganisatie nog weerstand, vooral in de noordoostelijke wijken. Er is nog veel werk te verzetten; onder meer geïmproviseerde explosieven maken de stad onveilig.

Nederlandse F-16’s van de Air Task Force Middle East droegen bij aan de operatie. De toestellen vernietigden onder meer vuurposities in het centrum van de stad. Daardoor konden de veiligheidstroepen verder oprukken. De F-16’s ondersteunden ook Peshmerga in de omgeving van Mosul, waarbij ze vuurposities met zware wapens en opslaglocaties van ISIS vernietigden. Naast deze zogenoemde Close Air Support-missies voerden ze nog succesvol een geplande aanval uit op een fabriek waar autobommen werden gemaakt.

Trainingen in Irak

De standaardtrainingen voor de Modern Brigade Course 2 zijn in volle gang. De lessen bestaan uit het verbeteren van de schietvaardigheid, eerste hulp onder gevechtsomstandigheden en het tactisch patrouilleren.

Het Mobile Support Team is ook weer ingezet. Er werd les gegeven onder meer op het gebied van optreden in stedelijk gebied, herkennen van geïmproviseerde explosieven en hulp onder gevechtsomstandigheden. De Peshmerga geven aan veel waarde te hechten aan de trainingen.

Lopende operaties buitenland:

In Mali voerde een Chinook-transporthelikopter onder bescherming van een Apache-gevechtshelikopter diverse bevoorradingsvluchten en troepentransporten uit. De Apaches begeleidden meerdere konvooien.

Voor de NAVO-operatie Resolute Support in Afghanistan adviseerden Nederlandse militairen Afghaanse collega’s van krijgsmacht en politie over hoe zij het beste hun werk doen. Vanwege de ramadan zijn de bezoeken met name in de ochtend. Een beveiligingseenheid en een geneeskundig detachement staan de adviseurs bij. De Nederlanders opereren vanuit het noordelijke Mazar-e-Sharif. Tevens zijn er Nederlanders actief op het hoofdkwartier van de missie in Kabul.

Op de Griekse eilanden Chios en Lesbos werken 2 Border Security Teams (BST). Die bestaan uit medewerkers van marechaussee, landmacht, marine, Nationale Politie en het ministerie van Veiligheid en Justitie. Ze screenen, identificeren en registreren migranten. De BST’s werken onder de vlag van Frontex. Dat is het EU-agentschap dat de operationele samenwerking aan de buitengrenzen van de Europese Unie beheert.

Beveiligingsteams van mariniers, zogenoemde vessel protection detachments, beschermden Nederlandse schepen tegen mogelijke aanvallen van piraten.

Zr. Ms. Groningen voert als stationsschip in het Caribisch gebied kustwachttaken en antidrugsoperaties uit. Een Cougar-transporthelikopter doet dat ook vanuit Hato, Curaçao.

Lopende operaties/acties binnenland:

De landmacht ondersteunde de Koninklijke Marechaussee bij de grensbewaking in de zeehavens.

De Explosieven Opruimingsdienst Defensie maakte meer dan 20 bommen onschadelijk, voornamelijk uit de Tweede Wereldoorlog.

Defensie hielp de politie bij strafrechtelijke onderzoeken. Een zogenoemd Advanced Search Team kamden diverse panden en percelen uit op 2 locaties bij Den Bosch.

Notes

On Monday June 27 a Belgian detachment with six F-16s departed from the air base of Kleine Brogel to the Middle East. Belium now takes over the role of the Dutch Air Force, which arranged the past 12 months for the mission. The aircraft, pilots and support personnel will be operating from an air base in the Middle East. The units will be deployed against targets of the terrorist group Islamic State in Iraq and, following the recent enlargement of the area of action by the Government, in Syrian airspace.

Belgische F-16’s starten missie in het Midden-Oosten

Op maandag 27 juni vertrekt vanop de luchtmachtbasis van Kleine-Brogel, in het kader van de Operatie Desert Falcon, een Belgisch detachement met zes F-16’s naar het Midden-Oosten. Ons land neemt er de rol over van de Nederlandse Luchtmacht, die de voorbije 12 maanden instond voor de missie. Het detachement maakt deel uit van de internationale coalitie in de strijd tegen DAESH.

De vliegtuigen, de piloten en het ondersteunende personeel zullen opereren vanaf een luchtmachtbasis in het Midden-Oosten. De toestellen zullen worden ingezet tegen doelwitten van de terreurgroep Islamitische Staat in het Iraakse en, na de recente uitbreiding van het actiegebied door de Regering, in het Syrische luchtruim.

In oktober 2014 ontplooide de luchtcomponent al zes F-16’s naar het Midden-Oosten voor luchtopdrachten in het Iraakse luchtruim. Op 2 juli 2015 keerden de laatste toestellen terug naar België. De Nederlandse Luchtmacht zette de operatie verder, terwijl ons land instond voor de bescherming van het detachement op de grond. Na onderlinge afspraak levert België nu de vliegtuigen terwijl Nederland de beveiliging garandeert.

Sunday 26 June – Tornados used Stormshadow missiles against a very large concrete bunker in western Iraq, Typhoons destroyed a smaller bunker, and a Reaper struck targets in the north…Intelligence had determined that Daesh were using a large concrete bunker in western Iraq as a weapons facility. Due to the massive construction, built during the Saddam era, it was decided to use four Stormshadow missiles against it, as the weapon has particularly good capabilities against such a challenging target. The missiles were launched on Sunday 26 June by two Tornados, all four Stormshadows scored direct hits and penetrated deep within the bunker. Also in western Iraq, south-east of Hit, a Typhoon flight used a single Paveway IV to destroy a much smaller bunker built by Daesh south-east of Hit. In northern Iraq, a Reaper provided close air support near Sharqat for the third successive day, using its Hellfires to attack a vehicle, a group of terrorists on foot, and a team planting improvised explosive devices.
