According to Brigadier General William È«Äá¸íǰ·¹Çø®Ä«=È«Äá¸íǰ¹Ì·¯±Þ È«Äá¸íǰ·¹Çø®Ä« È«Äá¸íǰÀ̹ÌÅ×À̼Ç<br /> Seely, Commander of Task Force-Iraq, these forces are better prepared than in 2014 when IS gained control of a third of Iraq and took Mosul, its second largest city, virtually unopposed. "The ISF [Iraqi security forces] and the Çö´ëÅ¥¹Ö »ì±Õ ³Ã¿ÂÁ¤¼ö±â·»Å»=Çö´ëÅ¥¹Ö Å¥¹ÖS Ç÷¯½º »ì±Õ ³Ã¿ÂÁ¤¼ö±â·»Å» Ä«¿îÅÍÇüÃßõ<br /> Peshmerga are not the same forces as when Mosul fell," said Brig Gen Seely. "We have been here adding to their training. The ISF is keeping their foot on the pedal to ensure the momentum against Daesh [IS] remains steady." He cites a single month, from mid-October to mid-November, in which the ISF carried out 170 "clearance operations" and destroyed almost 1,700 components for improvised explosive devices. He says IS fighters are now hiding °æ»ê»çµ¿Á·¹ß<br /> out in caves and in the desert "in conditions that no one can handle for too long", and they can't move in large formations. "The largest I have seen in my six months here is 15, he says, adding that even one ISIS fighter is too many. </span> |
