The war against the Islamic State now has a name: Operation Inherent Resolve.

According to CENTCOM, the name is intended to reflect the unwavering resolve and deep commitment of the U.S. and partner nations in the region and around the globe to eliminate the terrorist group ISIL and the threat they pose to Iraq, the region and the wider international community. It also symbolizes the willingness and dedication of coalition members to work closely with our friends in the region and apply all available dimensions of national power necessary diplomatic, informational, military, economic to degrade and ultimately destroy ISIL.
