NFTF: Commander’s Perspective CJTF-OIR Operations in Iraq and Syria

Thursday, March 22, 2018
On 17 October 2014, the Department of Defense formally established Combined Joint Task Force - Operation Inherent Resolve (CJTF-OIR) in order to formalize ongoing military actions against the rising threat posed by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). III Corps assumed authority from XVIII Airborne Corps on August 2017. Since its inception CJTF-OIR, Coalition, Syrian and Iraqi partnered forces working together have made enormous progress denying ISIS aspirations. This NFTF is a reflection on that progress and the evolution of the battlefield.
