| Zusammenfassung: | "This report assesses the campaign against the Islamic State (ISIL), focusing on the military and political lines of effort. The capabilities and motivation of the various counter-ISIL forces on the battlefield are assessed, as well as the U.S.-led efforts to provide training, equipment, advice, and assistance, including air support. While the campaign has degraded ISIL by targeting leadership and retaking a portion of territory, achieving lasting defeat of ISIL will be elusive without local forces capable of holding territory. Successful conclusion of the campaign will require significantly increased effort on two fronts. First, more-comprehensive training, advising, and assisting will be required to create more-capable , coordinated indigenous forces of appropriate composition and enable them to regain and hold territory. Second, political agreements must be forged to resolve key drivers of conflict among Iraqis and Syrians. Without these elements, resurgent extremist violence is likely. Many factors complicate the prospects for success, including sectarian divisions in Iraq, Iranian support for Shia militias in Iraq and Syria, the Syrian civil war, and Russian intervention to support the besieged regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. However, the Syrian regime also lacks sufficient competent local forces and is heavily reliant on external militia support. The government in Iraq, led by Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, has pledged decentralization efforts to address Sunni concerns, but lacks sufficient Shia support to enact them. This report offers recommendations for a more comprehensive advisory approach, emphasizing the political line of effort, and achieving synergy between the military and political efforts"--Back cover |

Successful conclusion of the campaign will require significantly increased effort on two fronts. First, more-comprehensive training, advising, and assisting will be required to create more-capable , coordinated indigenous forces of appropriate composition and enable them to regain and hold territory. Second, political agreements must be forged to resolve key drivers of conflict among Iraqis and Syrians. Without these elements, resurgent extremist violence is likely. Many factors complicate the prospects for success, including sectarian divisions in Iraq, Iranian support for Shia militias in Iraq and Syria, the Syrian civil war, and Russian intervention to support the besieged regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. However, the Syrian regime also lacks sufficient competent local forces and is heavily reliant on external militia support. The government in Iraq, led by Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi, has pledged decentralization efforts to address Sunni concerns, but lacks sufficient Shia support to enact them. This report offers recommendations for a more comprehensive advisory approach, emphasizing the political line of effort, and achieving synergy between the military and political efforts"--Back cover IS (Organization) IS (Organization) fast Islamischer Staat im Irak und in Syrien (DE-588)1052707475 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte gnd rswk-swf Terrorism / Middle East / Prevention / 21st century Terrorism / Religious aspects / Islam / 21st century Islamic fundamentalism / 21st century Islam and politics / Middle East / 21st century Insurgency / Middle East / 21st century Security, International / 21st century Insurgency fast Islam and politics fast Islamic fundamentalism fast Military policy fast Politics and government fast Security, International fast Terrorism / Prevention fast Terrorism / Religious aspects / Islam fast Politik Religion Terrorismus Kriegführung (DE-588)4073817-6 gnd rswk-swf Terrorismus (DE-588)4059534-1 gnd rswk-swf United States / Military policy / 21st century United States / Politics and government / 21st century Middle East fast United States fast Naher Osten USA USA (DE-588)4078704-7 gnd rswk-swf USA (DE-588)4078704-7 g Kriegführung (DE-588)4073817-6 s Islamischer Staat im Irak und in Syrien (DE-588)1052707475 b Terrorismus (DE-588)4059534-1 s Geschichte z DE-604 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe https://doi.org/10.7249/RR1290 Verlag kostenfrei Volltext Digitalisierung BSB Muenchen - ADAM Catalogue Enrichment application/pdf http://bvbr.bib-bvb.de:8991/F?func=service&doc_library=BVB01&local_base=BVB01&doc_number=029065869&sequence=000002&line_number=0001&func_code=DB_RECORDS&service_type=MEDIA Inhaltsverzeichnis |
