3:44 am
the world is at a crossroads. a period where the old order is passing and a new order is coming in to,. tragically and offense horrifically. the rise of isil has upended many of our assumptions. and deeper ways than regional security or politics as someone who spent nearly four decades as a united states marine i have come closer than many to the reality of inhumanity. and i have never seen before the kind of depravity and brutality in this region that isil represents and in fact, that i isil celebrates. while few of us could have imagined the rise of such of a divisive force, there is phone shaly another set of lessons that we can learn from the global response to isil. which i will refer to as it's a
3:45 am
arabic acronym dash. several years ago few would have assumed that so many nations from so many different traditions with difficult political systems and faiths and interests could come together is a co lines over multiple lines of effort to confront a shared threat. for the past nine months in my role as the press' special envoy to counter dark, i have been privileged to help lead this collection of strong and diverse partners as we sought to build and binds us altogether this in common and important cause. from the outset of this campaign we have understood that countering dash would require enduring effort and success will require to us persist adapt and constantly reassess our activities in light of both victories and setbacks. setbacks such as we experienced
3:46 am
in ramadi last month. yesterday the ministers discussed the way forward i am confidence that ramadi has actually redoubled our resolve. and baghdad last week where i met with senior governmental officials and security officials officials, i all how the same was true for our iraqi partners, having been part of four. [ inaudible ] over the course movie career, and having commanded the coalition of 50 nations in afghanistan. i have seen how important it is to understand the ups and downs of a campaign within the context of strategic objectives. and, yes, it is vitally important that we learn. it's imperative that we learn and also imperative that we see
3:47 am
our campaign from the more expansive horizon of just last month or next month. today we are nearly a fuel year from series of horrific events in iraq. which compel the united states to act and ultimately convene a broad global coalition. it was at this time last june that daesh fighters began pouring town the tigris river value. it was a moment where iraq was under siege and largely isolated in the worm. multiple iraqi cities fell, entire iraqi divisions collapsed and the northern approaches to baghdad were, posed. on 10 june, mosul a city of more than 1.5 million people collapsed your honor the hammer blows of dsesh. and a few weeks later it was from that city's grand mosque
3:48 am
that. [ inaudible ] would proclaim the so-called caliphate. it to the white sox rebreakthrough and poured towards baghdad think they said they would soon rage in baghdad think soon after they launched a series of attacks further never in iraq, massacring minorities and en slaving women and girls surrounding 10s of thousands of yazidis on sinjar mountain and opening a clear route to you are bilker the region's capital. all of this together prompted the united states to act. from one i.s.r. soar identity a month to 60 a day. the aim was to gain a very
3:49 am
granular picture of the isil network to begin the process of targeting. it would be essential to future operations. second we establish the the joint operation center both in baghdad and you are bill, restoring critical relationships that we had had before with iraq's central government and during dish commanders. third we deployed our special force says teams to assess iraqi security formation with his a focus on baghdad's defenses. insuring that those defenses could hold and our dern el and those of the it's national community could be protected. following national elections. to stand up a new government. but they were not sufficient. at root daesh is not an iraqi
3:50 am
problem, it's not a syrian problem it's a regional problem trending towards global implications. it was out of a keena awareness of the global implications of this emergency and the unthinkable human implications if it were to allow to go unabated the president obama and secretary kerry resolved to build a global coalition last september and it was then that the white house asked me to assist in organizing and con consolidating and coordinating this coalition as the president's special envoy. in my service over the past nine months i have traveled to nine capital asks many during that time we have assembled a global coalition of more than 60 states and entities. and unlike other coalition campaigns i have been part of, we have had to build this coalition out of whole cloth. when i was the commander of our nato forces in afghanistan our authorities derived from a united nation security council
3:51 am
resolution and our framework for organization rested upon the north atlantic council. we had nicker of those presents in the organization of this coalition and we have had to build it from the ground up. last december in brussels. the global coalition to counter isil's objectives and commitments, were first outlineed in a joint statement agreed to by 60 partners. who declared their unanimous commitment to counter daesh along five mutually reinforcing lines of effort. but as i often say while it is the coalition's kinetic actions its military actions that receive the most attention, it is the aggregate effect of the coalition's activities across multiple lines of effort that will in the end determine the coalition's success, that is why in every visit i make to a coalition capital. and from every conversation i have with a prime minister or a king or a president i describe our campanas organized across
3:52 am
five lines of effort. first it's a military component to deny safe haven and to provide security a assistants on our partners, secretary disrupting the flow of foreign fighters, third is disrupting access to the financial resources available locally to daesh and through the international financial system. the 40 is providing humanitarian relief and stabilization support. and finally counter messaging or defeating daesh sass as an idea. over each of these five central lines of effort, coalition activity at thises are directed by specific working groups, co-led by two or three coalition partners. for example they counter finance, counter isil finance working group is co-led by italy, the kingdom of saudi arabia, and the united states. the foreign fighters task force and working group is co-led by the netherlands and turkey.
3:53 am
the counter isil messaging working group is co-led by the united arab emirates, the united kingdom and the united states, the military support working group by the united states and iraq. and for stabilization support that working group is led by germany and the united united arab emirates and each working group is heavily populated by member states all of whom are involved aoeupgt never planning or providing resources ultimately to achieve our objectives. the kind of diverse and robust global leadership and activity we have enjoyed within this coalition is in my experience, unprecedented. in both its scope and level of activity in so short a time. and as we work to operationalize and indeed intense identify our activity at thises a result directly from our consultations yesterday, we have an opportunity to challenge assumptions about what a collection of committed nations can make possible.
3:54 am
briefly let me provide an overview of the coalition's progress over our central lines of effort. and some of the way we we are evolve to go confront an adaptable enemy. we are providing security support for our partners on the ground and while these efforts are the purview of the u.s. central command and it's a partners it is the task of the coalition and our leadership to to insure the coalitions activities over each of the lines of effort are synchronized and mutually supporting. ramadi is a loss we should end. but we must not forget that daesh has been defeated in many places. along the mosul dam and mount sinjar and it's in its salt of the krg.
3:55 am
and in syria where they told achieve a media spectacle before the entire world they were defeated in tikrit when mine minister abadi asked for help in the deciding moment in the assault and clearance that have city. the coalition delivered and the iraqi sawyer at this forces were able to clear that population center. today daesh has lost 25 fierce of the populated territory it once held in iraq. the coalition has played a vital role in helping local forces make these gains, 15 partners are helping to built the iraqi security force's capacities. and six partners are contributing to the coalition's advise and assist mission. building the capacity of a rack i security forces will take time. and it is only recently that our four building partner capacity training sites became fully operational. and with each passing week, these camps are producing more and more of the iraqi security
3:56 am
forces necessary to recover the territorial integrity of the country. daesh is operations in ramadi also highlighted the vital pons of the anbar province not simply as a part of the shaping operations for the recovery of mosul but as a strategic priority in the campaign, it's one-third of iraq's territory it's of great significance and important to jordan and saudi arabia. heading east out of el anbar it's the gateway to baghdad and others. headed west, it's the means by which daesh's resupply and sustainment are recovered from the syrian border. and unlike his predecessor prime minister abadi believes in functioning federalism. until decentralization of authorities to the provinces thinker so through the central government of iraq a strong government is under way to arm the tribe to his provide
3:57 am
resauces andresouthsources and empower anbar. we also want to support the decisions of the legitimate local leadership in anbar the provincial council who working directly with their governor i and the prime minister in the central government, have decided to permit the deployment of popular mobilization forces in to the province for the purposes of supporting the security operations that will be necessary to recover ramadi and ultimately remember late the province these any leaders do not view in from is a sectarian prism and understand the they can play a vital role against daesh. indeed men of the pmf fighters are not shia hard liners but iraqis who volunteered last
3:58 am
simmer but we also remain attentive and and concerned about extremist militia elements frequently fluentsed and led by iranian leadership where iran may play a significant role in their presence in the battle space. as we have said many times it's critical that all forces in the battle space fall under the command and control of the government of iraq in order for the counter isil operations to be successful. and prime minister abadi reaffirmed this in paris less than 24 hours ago. as more territory is taking back from daesh. we must also insure that we are poise today empower the iraqi government to act in relief of the liberated populations and as one of the ministers said yesterday in paris when a population is lick rated it has to feel liberated and something has to change to their benefit. we are working closely with
3:59 am
iraqis with the support of our coalition partners and in particular the arab states of the region to help iraq develop stabilization and recovery plans. the uae in germany are leading these efforts and italy is playing an important role in developing police who are vital to the process of the stabilization effort. the u.n. development plan in yard nation with the iraqis has a mechanism that channels contributions from it's national partner to his iraq to complete rabid projects in the immediate aftermath of the liberation of populations in the campaigning. this fund is focused on restoring basic services and governance and providing the sensual rescue if necessary for the liberated populations and in particular for women and children. at the ministerial this weak in ferris several joined the united

states in committing financial sum to his this effort. now squeezing daesh across and its access to its financial resource is his one of the most effective mechanisms that we have to disrupt operations. and the management of the so-called caliphate. we are sharing information to block their access to the global financial system. we are uncovering their points of access in the region. and abroad. for financial support. in the recent raid on the compound in syria we collected substantial information on daesh financial operations and we are gaining a much clearer understanding of daesh's organizational construct and its business enterprise. still maintains financial resources and they are diverse. beyond its oil i want prize which we have shurnk through military activ
