== Overview ==
Operation Inherent Resolve is the intervention of US and coalition forces in the theatre of the Syrian Arab Republic to help its government fight, withstand, and degrade the structures of the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) — a hostile entity that has consolidated control over significant portions of eastern Syria, including its self-proclaimed capital of Raqqa, and key oil infrastructure funding its operations.

This operation is conducted in concert with coalition partners: Kingdom of Bahrain, Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the United Arab Emirates.

Key friction point: '''Deir ez-Zor''' — SAA 104th Republican Guard Brigade enclave is besieged by ISIL. SyAAF is conducting active combat sorties from western airbases in support. Expect uncoordinated neutral air traffic.
----

== Common Threat Assessment ==

=== ISIL Air Defence (HOSTILE — Active) ===

* No integrated IADS
* AAA: ZU-23-2 and 14.5mm/12.7mm HMGs (technical-mounted and towed)
* MANPADS: Threat envelope SFC to approximately 15,000 ft AGL — assume present at all high-value targets
* No credible air-to-air capability (captured SAA airframes assessed non-operational)

=== SAA IADS (NEUTRAL — Passive FCR, Active Search) ===

* Dense Russian-doctrine IADS concentrated in western Syria
* Wave 1 operations confirmed Fire Control Radars are PASSIVE — FCR will not engage coalition aircraft targeting ISIL
* Search and EW radars ARE ACTIVE — expect RWR indications
* Do NOT enter SAA No-Fly Zones (Aleppo, Damascus)
