This is one of the units that played a crucial role in the international coalition's airstrike campaigns led by the US in Iraq and Syria.

The goal of these attacks was to cripple IS's internet network, cut off its money transfer lines, and limit the organization's recruitment through social media.

Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Joseph Dunford, added that the coalition will implement a combination of measures simultaneously to achieve the goal of isolating and weakening ISIS terrorists.
