MOSUL, Australia's secret war inside the ISIS Caliphate.
When Australian commandos fought and killed Australians fighting for ISIS.
Al-Asad was now the home of the Iraqi Army 7th Division, who were known as one of the more effective conventional units in the Iraqi Security Forces, but who had been devastated in the fight against Al Qaeda in Iraq and then Islamic State.
One of the Australians asked what kind of missions the CTS unit had been running from the base. The ranking CTS officer told him they weren’t running missions. What, then, were they doing?
‘Nothing. We don’t do missions. We’re just here,’ he said. It was a rehab platoon; a group of soldiers who could no longer be in the fight, for either physical or psychological reasons. Perhaps some could be integrated back into the fight at a later point, but not any time soon.
