TAMPA, Fla. – A U.S.-led combined joint task force validated Iraqi Security Forces’ (ISF) capacity to independently manage their combat strike process Oct. 27, marking a major milestone in Iraq’s transition to assuming a leading role in regional operations.
Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve (CJTF-OIR) validated the ISF’s certification of their strike capabilities during a capstone live-fire exercise in Iraq. ISF personnel successfully completed the targeting cycle under adverse, real-world conditions, demonstrating targeting proficiency without support from U.S. or Coalition personnel.
