Military Strikes Continue Against ISIL Terrorists in Syria, Iraq > U.S. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE > Article View


SOUTHWEST ASIA, March 23, 2016 — U.S. and coalition military forces have continued to attack Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant terrorists in Syria and Iraq, Combined Joint Task Force Operation Inherent Resolve officials reported today.

Officials reported details of the latest strikes, noting that assessments of results are based on initial reports.

Strikes in Syria

Ground-attack, attack, fighter, and remotely piloted aircraft conducted eight strikes in Syria:

-- Near Manbij, a strike destroyed an ISIL mortar position.

-- Near Mar’a, six strikes struck six separate ISIL tactical units and destroyed four ISIL fighting positions, an ISIL bomb cache, an ISIL tunnel, and four ISIL vehicles.

-- Near Raqqah, a strike struck an ISIL weapons storage facility.

Strikes in Iraq

Rocket artillery and attack, fighter, and remotely piloted aircraft conducted 17 strikes in Iraq, coordinated with and in support of Iraq’s government:

-- Near Baghdadi, two strikes struck an ISIL tactical unit and destroyed an ISIL front end loader, an ISIL machine gun position, and an ISIL bed down location.

-- Near Haditha, a strike struck a large ISIL tactical unit and destroyed four ISIL staging areas.

-- Near Kirkuk, a strike struck a large ISIL tactical unit and destroyed four ISIL assembly areas and an ISIL supply cache.

-- Near Kisik, two strikes struck an ISIL tactical unit and destroyed an ISIL mortar position and three ISIL assembly areas.

-- Near Mosul, three strikes struck an ISIL headquarters, an ISIL tactical unit and destroyed an ISIL assembly area and an ISIL vehicle.

-- Near Qayyarah, two strikes destroyed an ISIL vehicle and an ISIL used bridge section.

-- Near Ramadi, two strikes struck two separate ISIL tactical units and destroyed an ISIL tactical vehicle and an ISIL front end loader.

-- Near Sultan Abdallah, a strike struck an ISIL tactical unit and destroyed an ISIL mortar position.

-- Near Tal Afar, a strike struck an ISIL tactical unit and destroyed an ISIL heavy machine gun position and an ISIL fighting position.

-- Near Hit, two strikes destroyed an ISIL staging area and an ISIL supply cache.

Task force officials define a strike as one or more kinetic events that occur in roughly the same geographic location to produce a single, sometimes cumulative, effect. Therefore, officials explained, a single aircraft delivering a single weapon against a lone ISIL vehicle is one strike, but so is multiple aircraft delivering dozens of weapons against buildings, vehicles and weapon systems in a compound, for example, having the cumulative effect of making those targets harder or impossible for ISIL to use. Accordingly, officials said, they do 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.

Part of Operation Inherent Resolve

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 that have conducted strikes in Iraq include the United States, Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Jordan, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom. Coalition nations that have conducted strikes in Syria include the United States, Australia, Bahrain, Canada, France, Jordan, the Netherlands, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and the United Kingdom.

THE 175th INFANTRY REGIMENT of THE 28th INFANTRY DIVISION


The 175th(Based in Pikesville, Maryland) is one of the oldest infantry regiments in the United States armed forces and played a significant role in the battle of Long Island where members of the 175th held of British regulars while the rest of the Continental Army retreated. Since then the Regiment has participated in almost every major conflict involving the U.S. including the war of 1812 where the 175th held back British forces approaching Baltimore while Fort McHenry was under bombardment. Later during the U.S. Civil War, the division, being in a border state, was split between North and South and fought in multiple battles including against each other. After the first World war the 175th participated in the landing of Normandy with the 29th infantry division and took part in battles in Germany. The regiment also took part in the war on terror and is currently not deployed but took part in restoring order during the Baltimore riots that recently occurred.
