DENMARK

“Denmark is active along multiple lines of effort in order to counter Daesh. We contribute significantly to the stabilization efforts in Iraq and Syria, and we support the UN’s efforts in advancing a political solution to the conflict in Syria. Daesh cannot be defeated with military means alone.”

Mr Kristian Jensen, Minister for Foreign Affairs

Over the past year Denmark has played a major role in the Global Coalition, as a participant in airstrikes in Iraq, a provider of airspace surveillance over parts of Iraq and Syria, a contributor of troops training Iraqi forces; and as a contributor to stabilization activities in Syria and Iraq.

Denmark contributes to Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve, the multinational coalition dedicated to militarily defeating Daesh in Iraq and Syria, as follows:

  • Training Iraqi soldiers in support of militarily defeating Daesh
  • Radar system monitoring Iraqi and Syrian airspace in support of the Coalition’s air operations.
