The Black Task Force

25/11/14

The aerial bombardments on ISIS formations did not produce the results that Western decision makers had set themselves. Therefore it was necessary to provide for a change of strategy and in particular for an implementation of the forces deployed on the field. The choice was almost obligatory; the myth of special departments in their best sense: British SAS, Delta Force and US Navy Seals.

But the latter is not just any department, the legendary Team Six. Thus the Task Force Black was born.

The order issued to them is very clear: Smash Islamic State. The covered mission will therefore have the final aim of cutting the head of the snake, as declared by the United Major States.

The members of the Task Force Black, will creep under cover in enemy lines with the primary objective of breaking the chain of command of Islamic terrorists, destroying the control structures and striking at the heart of the organization, that is "ending" Abu Bakr at Baghdadi.

The leaders of the coalition have taken a position of non-negotiation with extremist factions and, therefore, one of the tasks of the professional team will be to eliminate the greatest number of terrorists.

The West has never had to face a threat of this magnitude, and among the orders given to the task force, the destruction of Muslim civil targets is also included.

The operation is under the command and control of the CIA, and the British will be joined by first-rate British elements of MI5 and the Secret Service, commonly called MI6.

In the Kill List of the Task Force Black, the names of the Islamic killers who killed the hostages are pinned and will be the primary targets.

The joint unit of US and British will operate both in Iraq and in Syria and will make use of the collaboration of the Kurdish peshmerga, in a strategy that does not foresee a large use of ground troops in contrast to ISIS.

The single missions of the task force will be facilitated by information obtained from a network of informants already in the field, spy aircraft and environmental interceptions. For in-depth actions, the military will be transported aboard helicopters, which will await the return of the soldiers to facilitate their exfiltration.

Such incursions will also have the purpose of making arrests of opposing leaders, in order to obtain the necessary information to better plan and implement future missions.

A strategy that aims to combat terror by creating terror.
