As we transition from a combat role, the Military Advisory Group is key, working hand-in-hand with Iraqi forces to advise, assist, and enable their capabilities in the enduring defeat of Daesh. Read more here: https://t.co/2Q5ZUjhAEL
Since its formation, the Coalition has committed to countering Daesh’s hateful propaganda and reducing terrorist access to information spaces. See how we work with our partners to achieve these goals. #InFocus#TakeTerrorDown
Equipment may transition out of theatre, but determination to advise, assist, and enable our partners remains. Read about some examples of the changing mission here!

Today in Suli I received Brig. Richard Bell Deputy Commanding General of @CJTFOIR, Post-election matters discussed, KRI & Iraq relations, reiterating the need for strong joint operations to eliminate the existing threats of #ISIS. @KurdistanRegion
Proud to be part of the farewell at the end of @BeAirForce mission supporting @CJTFOIR. However, this falls at a time when our Partner Forces increasingly conduct decisive unilateral operations against Daesh. But the fight is not over which is why we are still #StrongerTogether
Last week saw @CJTFOIR hosting a team from @coalition. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to highlight the great progress our Partner Forces have made and outline how our support to them has transitioned from combat operations to advise and assist operations.
We have accomplished extraordinary achievements together in the fight against ISIS, and we must remain diligent in that fight. We will continue to advise & assist Iraq, focusing on higher echelons of command– Gen. Kenneth F. McKenzie Jr. @CENTCOM
Yesterday, @CJTFOIR conducted Ambassadors' Day in Baghdad, inviting coalition ambassadors and representatives to a forum focused on the
@Coalition's fight to defeat Daesh. The event showcases our united effort to provide advice and assistance our partners in defeating Daesh.
@CJTFOIR are saddened to hear of the tragic news from New Zealand today. Events like this reinforce the importance of the @coalition and we thank the @NZDefenceForce for the vital contribution they make to the defeat Daesh mission in Iraq and Syria.
Enabling our Partners' capacity through the divestment of equipment ensures they are able to operate independently and rely less on @CJTFOIR. Attacks on these convoys delay the development of the ISF and undermine the stability of Iraq.
There are no U.S./Coalition logistic convoys in Iraq - it is disinformation & propaganda. Equipment divested to the #ISF in support of its #DefeatDaesh mission through the CTEF Program is transported by Iraqi Civilian Logistic Convoys.
The ISF have excelled again! Planning and executing such a complex operation demonstrates the ISF are key to the long term stability of this great country. @CJTFOIR will continue to advise, assist and enable on the request of the GoI.
.@KRG_MOPE leadership ensuring proper accountability and safe movement of items divested from @CJTFOIR this morning. Logistics processes are essential to high operational readiness, and the #Peshmerga are leading by example. #DefeatDaesh@OIRSpox
.@CJTFOIR advisors and the @KRG_MOPE M4 Warehouse reviewed lessons learned over the past few years. The MoPA M3 highlighted coordination with the M4. We also met the latest class of logistic officers who received training at the M4 Warehouse in the last three weeks. #Peshmerga
As Daesh no longer holds territory in Iraq, subduing them has become "a fight over intelligence" - @iraqiSpoxMOD. The Coalition & @CJTFOIR continue to support the Iraqi Security Forces, who lead the fight to #DefeatDaesh, including through comprehensive intelligence sharing.
.@IraqiCTS fighters remain a vigilant & professional deterrent to any terrorist element in Iraq. The success of their anti-ISIS ops reflects their exceptional combat capabilities in fighting terror to maintain the country’s hard-fought victories over Daesh. #DefeatDaesh
.@CJTFOIR advisors work with @KRG_MOPE M4 and M6 personnel on the preparation of vehicles for distribution to the #Peshmerga brigades. By working #together to improve installation procedures, the M4 Warehouse increased their efficiency by 400% in one week. @OIRSpox
