IRAK / SYRIE : CHAMMAL

La coalition poursuit la stratégie qui consiste à appuyer les troupes locales dans leurs combats contre Daech tout en frappant les capacités de l’organisation terroriste.

Daech recule là où la coalition accentue la pression (Falludjah, Sud Mossoul, Manbij). L’organisation tente de reprendre pied en conduisant des attaques de harcèlement sur les forces de sécurité irakiennes (Tikrit et Nasir). Elle poursuit également les attentats suicides à Bagdad.

La bataille pour libérer Fallujah se poursuit et les forces de sécurité irakiennes progressent, malgré la posture défensive de Daech qui se renforce à mesure qu’elles se rapprochent de la ville. Les forces de l’ICTS entrainées à Bagdad par les instructeurs français participent à la reprise de la ville.

Activités de la force Chammal

Du 1er au 7 juin 2016, les aéronefs de l’opération Chammal ont poursuivi leurs missions aériennes contre Daech, en réalisant 37 sorties, dont 25 de bombardement et 11 de recueil de renseignement.

Au total 3 frappes

ont détruit 4 objectifs

de Daech.

Cette semaine, l’action de la force Chammal concernait surtout l’appui des opérations terrestres dans les régions de Mossoul et Fallujah. Son action visait principalement des positions armées de Daesh.

1 frappe planifiée a été conduite en Irak le 5 juin contre un bâtiment d’entraînement de Daech.

2 frappes d’appui au sol ont été réalisées en Irak le 6 et 7 juin contre des positions armées terroristes.

La baisse d’activité s’explique principalement par la relève d’équipage sur la BAP de Jordanie.

Le dispositif de Chammal a légèrement évolué puisque l’E3-F AWACS a quitté le théâtre des opérations le 4 juin et 3 Mirage 2000D ont été remplacés par 3 Mirage 2000N.

L’E-3F Français, plus connu sous le nom d’AWACS, a terminé le 4 juin 2016 sa mission au profit de l’opération Chammal. Déployé sur la base américaine d’Al Udeïd au Qatar depuis le 31 mars 2016, l’avion et son équipage ont assuré des missions de « command and control » au sein de la coalition internationale.

(1)2014_AEOA_201_042_056.jpg

Pour sa troisième participation à l’Opération Inherent Resolve, l’AWACS a effectué une quinzaine de sorties et réalisé près de 150 heures de vol au-dessus du théâtre d’opérations. Sa mission consiste à assurer la « déconfliction » entre les moyens aériens de la coalition (drônes, chasseurs, ravitailleurs, bombardiers), c’est-à-dire la coordination des missions des nombreux aéronefs qui volent dans l’espace restreint de la zone d’opération.

La flotte d’E-3F totalise plus de 13 700 heures de vol en opérations. L’AWACS a participé à de nombreuses opérations françaises : Serval, Salamandre, Trident, Harmattan ou encore Chammal. Il y assure chaque fois les fonctions opérationnelles de « command and control » (C2) et de détection avancée (AEW), essentielle dans les opérations modernes qui réservent un rôle décisif à l’arme aérienne.

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, huit Mirage 2000 D et N) 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.

Manbij Offensive

SOUTHWEST ASIA – Since the start of their offensive to liberate Manbij, Syria, the Syrian Arab Coalition has freed a total of 344 square kilometers from Da’esh control.

The Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve has conducted more than 105 strikes in support of the battle to liberate Manbij.

The Syrian Arab Coalition is leading the operation and will be responsible for securing Manbij once it is freed.

Coalition advisors are assisting the Syrian Arab Coalition leadership with command and control from nodes located behind the forward line of friendly forces.

The Syrian Arab Coalition supported by Coalition air power have destroyed 108 Da’esh fighting positions, 31 Da’esh vehicles, 17 Da’esh heavy-weapons, two Da’esh weapon caches, and one Da’esh vehicle borne improvised explosive device.

The operation to free Manbij is part of the Coalition-supported moderate Syrian opposition efforts to clear Da’esh from the Turkish border and the Mar’a line. The goal is to limit the flow of foreign fighters and minimize Da’esh’s threat to Turkey, the rest of Europe, and the United States.

Monday 6 June – Tornados struck a large truck-bomb factory near Mosul, while Typhoons provided close air support around Fallujah…Royal Air Force Typhoon FGR4s continued to provide close air support on Monday 6 June to the Iraqi operation to liberate Fallujah. A coalition surveillance aircraft spotted a group of Daesh terrorists taking up position in a building to the west of the city, allowing them to be quickly targeted by the Typhoons using a Paveway IV guided bomb. In northern Iraq, intelligence had located a large truck-bomb factory near Mosul and two RAF Tornado GR4s armed with 1000lb Enhanced Paveway II guided bombs were tasked with its destruction. A single EPW II destroyed the factory.

Point de situation des opérations

État-major des armées | 2 juin 2016 IRAK / SYRIE : CHAMMAL La situation militaire est marquée par la poursuite des opérations de reconquête des zones occupées par Daech. Le groupe terroriste conduit une défense discontinue des territoires conquis en 2014 pour sanctuariser ses points forts et ses axes logistiques. En Irak, les Forces de sécurité irakiennes (FSI) sont engagées depuis peu dans la reprise de la ville de Falloujah.

• Dans la vallée de l’Euphrate, les FSI conservent l’initiative sur Daech. Depuis un mois, elles ont repris le contrôle de près de 60 kilomètres de territoire sur les berges du fleuve. Après la libération de la ville de Rutbah, du 13 au 19 mai 2016, les troupes irakiennes cherchent à rouvrir et sécuriser l’axe économique avec la Jordanie. Par ailleurs, leurs efforts se concentrent sur la ville de Falloujah qui a été encerclée. Les FSI ont pris pied dans les faubourgs et les opérations de reconquête sont en cours.
• Au Nord du pays, dans la vallée du Tigre, Daech reste en posture de défense ferme autour de Mossoul. En revanche, les forces irakiennes conservent la capacité d’interdire à Daech toute reprise du terrain.

En Syrie, la coalition appuie actuellement une offensive dans le Nord du pays en direction de Manbij. Bien que sur le recul, Daech conserve cependant une capacité d’action asymétrique. Bagdad a ainsi encore été touchée par plusieurs attentats dans la semaine. Activités de la force Chammal La force Chammal poursuit la campagne aérienne et les missions de formation et de conseil. Depuis le 25 mai 2016, les aéronefs de l’opération Chammal ont poursuivi leurs missions aériennes contre Daech, en réalisant 40 sorties dont 36 de bombardement et 3 de recueil de renseignement. Elles ont permis la réalisation de 27 frappes, aboutissant à la destruction de 31 objectifs de Daech. La force Chammal poursuit l’appui des opérations terrestres dans les régions de Mossoul et de Falloujah. Cet effort a été particulièrement intense les journées du 28 et du 29 mai, avec 14 frappes réalisées en moins de 48 heures contre des positions fortifiées, des moyens de tir indirect, ainsi que des postes de commandement et des plots logistiques de Daech. 27 frappes d’appui au sol ont été réalisées en Irak au cours de la semaine La force Chammal a réalisé des missions d’appui au sol en soutien des FSI, particulièrement dans les secteurs de Falloujah et Mossoul. Missions de formation et de conseil Les forces irakiennes présentes à Falloujah, appartiennent à la 6e division d’infanterie irakienne mais surtout à l’ICTS (unité de contre-terrorisme) dont la force Chammal assure l’instruction avec une centaine de formateurs présents à Bagdad. En dépit des combats, les actions de formation se poursuivent.

• La Task Force Narvik participe ainsi à la formation de près de 400 stagiaires qui devraient rejoindre les zones de combats au terme de leur formation ;
• La Task Force Monsabert poursuit son travail de conseil auprès de l’état-major de la 6e division d’infanterie et contribue à finaliser les préparatifs de ses unités.

Tuesday 31 May – Reapers, Typhoons and Tornados all provided close air support to the Fallujah offensive, as well as destroying other Daesh targets in northern and western Iraq…

With Iraqi ground forces continuing operations to liberate Fallujah, Royal Air Force Tornado GR4s, Typhoon FGR4s, and Reapers joined other coalition aircraft in providing intensive close air support.

On Tuesday 31 May, Tornados used Paveway IV guided bombs to destroy two heavy machine-guns that were threatening the advancing Iraqi forces; one, mounted on a truck concealed in a palm grove north of Fallujah, the second in a building on the southern outskirts of the city. In northern Iraq, a Typhoon and a Reaper provided assistance to the Kurdish peshmerga and Iraqi forces. The Typhoons destroyed the headquarters of a local Daesh commander to the south-east of Mosul, using Paveway IVs, while the Reaper assisted a coalition aircraft in targeting an engineering vehicle used for constructing defences near Qayyarah, then used its own Hellfire missiles against two terrorist mortar teams. Both the Typhoons and the Reaper then flew south to add their weight to air operations over Fallujah. The Typhoons successfully attacked a third heavy machine-gun position. The Reaper kept close watch on a group of terrorists test-firing and loading weapons, including a heavy machine gun, onto a supply truck. The reaper then destroyed the truck with a direct hit from a Hellfire missile.

Further west, along the Euphrates, near the recently liberated town of Hit, a second Reaper provided support to Iraqi forces consolidating the security of the surrounding area. The Reaper destroyed both a machine-gun team and a vehicle carrying a recoilless anti-tank gun with its Hellfires.

Nederlandse F-16’s bombardeerden diverse doelen in Irak in de strijd tegen ISIS. De toestellen hielpen onder meer bij het verdrijven van strijders van de terreurorganisatie uit Fallujah. Een overzicht van Defensieoperaties in de week van 23 mei tot 30 mei.

De Iraqi Security Forces (ISF) begonnen afgelopen week met hun offensief om de Iraakse stad Fallujah te heroveren op ISIS. Vliegtuigen van de internationale coalitie ondersteunden de Irakezen hierbij vanuit de lucht. Ook Nederlandse F-16’s van Air Task Force Middle East (ATF ME) leverden hun bijdrage. Ze zetten meermaals hun wapens in om de ISF te ondersteunen in de buurt van Fallujah. Daarnaast was ook veelvuldig wapeninzet nodig in Noord-Irak, waar de Peshmerga strijdt tegen ISIS. Deze week zijn door Nederlandse inzet onder meer raketlanceerinstallaties en verschillende vuurposities vernietigd.
