'Many brave men and women gave their lives to ensure Daesh never returns....Daesh 'is down, but not out,' coalition commander Major General John Brennan said.
The U.S. and Iraq will begin transitioning out of a combat mission and into an advisory mission.
"Many brave men and women gave their lives to ensure Daesh [ISIS' Arabic acronym] never returns, and as we complete our combat role, we will remain here to advise, assist and enable," coalition commander Major General John Brennan said."Daesh is down, but not out." The move follows through on a joint U.S.-Iraqi statement released in April. That statement said that such a transition would allow combat forces to be removed from Iraq over time. U.S. troops helped support Iraq and Syria against ISIS forces in recent years. The combat mission has not engaged in any fights since early 2020.
