US-led intervention in Iraq

The US-led intervention in Iraq was a military intervention launched in 2014 in response to an ISIL offensive.

The coalition supported Iraqi Security Forces through training, intelligence, and personnel. Its combat mission officially concluded in December 2021, although US troops remained to advise, train, and assist Iraqi forces against the continuing ISIL insurgency.
