Secure bases are considered by the enemy to be remote from air and ground strikes and remote from infantry and special forces movements for reasons related to the terrain and its ruggedness and impede their movements. victory. These movements end any offensive operation of the terrorist organization by targeting cities and low security areas, which were soft and weak targets that can be exploited more freely than security guarded and heavily fortified areas, and it is difficult to operate in their squares and movements. There were qualitative operations of the Iraqi forces against ISIS, especially the operations that were supported by the forces of the international coalition from the air and intelligence through satellite information and aircraft to detect scattered fortifications and bunkers in geographically and militarily restricted areas that are difficult to reach. The ground intelligence effort of the Iraqi forces enabled the attacking Iraqi forces to achieve their objectives and destroy all plans and possibilities to which the terrorist organization could resort. Iraqi forces, by destroying sanctuaries and targeting secure bases, were able to cripple the movement of the terrorist organization and largely exhaust all of its capabilities, and it became difficult for the organization to reorganize its ranks.
