The Iraqi jihadist leader who fights under the name Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi has delivered a sermon announcing that he will henceforth be known as Caliph Ibrahim, emir of the faithful in the Islamic state. With ISIS declaring themselves a Caliphate and seizing huge swathes of land, British forces in Iraq have called for the formation of a flexible joint task force capable of deploying to various areas of operation to assist stationed forces in driving back the Islamic State tide. To this end, United Task Force and 3.Jägerkompanie will deploy to Diyala, Iraq to provide combat assistance to British forces in the region. 2 days ago, ISIS militants attacked and took over a British embassy in Diyala, then used their initial advantage to push further and wipe out local defenders of the main airfield for the region- the Khan Bani Saad Airbase, not to be confused with the city of Khan Bani Saad. UNITAF and 3.Jägerkompanie's first joint deployment will be with the intent of re-capturing the airfield and routing the ISIS defenders.

The joint task force will deploy an infantry platoon and an armoured vehicle platoon, with support from an Apache gunship and dedicated MERT and transport teams.

The British forces stationed in Diyala are currently being dedicated to defence of FOB Ishaqi and will not be able to aid the task force in the field.
