Which marks the transition of Australian and New Zealand support from hands-on training teams to a School Mentoring Team. Task Group Taji has trained more than 46,000 members of the ISF and law enforcement since 2015. Together, Combined Joint Task Force – Operation Inherent Resolve and the ISF will develop a sustainable and inclusive ISF that can secure its sovereign borders, protect the population and support a return to normalcy across the country and ensure the lasting defeat of Daesh.
