This question was answered on 3rd July 2018

As part of the Coalition, UK air power has played a vital role in the success of the counter Daesh operations in Iraq. The Coalition has destroyed thousands of Daesh targets, interdicting resupply and reinforcement efforts, preventing Daesh's ability to counter attack.

UK teams have helped train over 75,000 Iraqi Security Forces, increasing their capacity to defeat Daesh. The UK will continue to develop a committed security partnership with Iraq, assisting with building the capacity of their armed forces.
