    The ground campaign was to be supported by airstrikes. This strategy had worked well in N. Iraq and it was time to expand it.

    The major change in the policy was the expansion to Syria. Earlier the air warfare was limited to Iraq.

     Obama calls for a change in strategy
  • The fall of Ramadi to ISIS on 17 May made the Obama administration seek newer strategies to combat the ISIS in Iraq specifically.

    The focus is turning to "training and equipping" the Sunnis in Iraq to contest the Islamic State.

    Commissioning Sunnis is important as the ISIS itself is an extremist group led by Sunnis.
