Operation Impact includes highly-specialized CAF members from the Canadian Special Operations Forces Command.  They train, advise and assist the Iraqi security forces in developing their military skills. This support enables the Iraqi security forces to take the fight to Daesh. As a result, they can work to remove the threat posed by Daesh in Iraq and the region and contribute to a more secure environment.

Part of training, advising and assisting involves JTF2 providing these three things during live operations and when allies are actively engaged in combat, not just from behind the barbed wire safety of the allied base.
