SUBJECT: Plan to Defeat the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria<\/p>\n

The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, or ISIS, is not the only threat from radical Islamic terrorism that the United States faces, but it is among the most vicious and aggressive.\u00a0 It is also attempting to create its own state, which ISIS claims as a “caliphate.” \u00a0But there can be no accommodation or negotiation with it. \u00a0For those reasons I am directing my Administration to develop a comprehensive plan to defeat ISIS.<\/p>\n

ISIS is responsible for the violent murder of American citizens in the Middle East, including the beheadings of James Foley, Steven Sotloff, and Peter Abdul-Rahman Kassig, as well as the death of Kayla Mueller.\u00a0 In addition, ISIS has inspired attacks in the United States, including the December 2015 attack in San\u00a0Bernardino, California, and the June 2016 attack in Orlando, Florida.\u00a0 ISIS is complicit in a number of terrorist attacks on our allies in which Americans have been wounded or killed, such as the November 2015 attack in Paris, France, the March 2016 attack in Brussels, Belgium, the July 2016 attack in Nice, France, and the December 2016 attack in Berlin, Germany.<\/p>\n

ISIS has engaged in a systematic campaign of persecution and extermination in those territories it enters or controls.\u00a0 If ISIS is left in power, the threat that it poses will only grow.\u00a0 We know it has attempted to develop chemical weapons capability.\u00a0 It continues to radicalize our own citizens, and its attacks against our allies and partners continue to mount. \u00a0The United States must take decisive action to defeat ISIS.<\/p>\n

Sec. 1.\u00a0 Policy. \u00a0It is the policy of the United States that ISIS be defeated.<\/p>\n

Sec. 2.\u00a0 Policy Coordination. \u00a0Policy coordination, guidance, dispute resolution, and periodic in-progress reviews for the functions and programs described and assigned in this memorandum shall be provided through the interagency process established in National Security Presidential Memorandum \u2013 2 of January 28, 2017 (Organization of the National Security Council and the Homeland Security Council), or any successor.<\/p>\n

(i)\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0Development of a new plan to defeat ISIS (the Plan) shall commence immediately.<\/p>\n

(ii) \u00a0\u00a0Within 30 days, a preliminary draft of the Plan to defeat ISIS shall be submitted to the President by the Secretary of Defense.<\/p>\n

(iii) \u00a0The Plan shall include:<\/p>\n

(A) \u00a0a comprehensive strategy and plans for the defeat of ISIS;<\/p>\n

(B) \u00a0recommended changes to any United States rules of engagement and other United States policy restrictions that exceed the requirements of international law regarding the use of force against ISIS;<\/p>\n

(C) \u00a0public diplomacy, information operations, and cyber strategies to isolate and delegitimize ISIS and its radical Islamist ideology;<\/p>\n

(D) \u00a0identification of new coalition partners in the fight against ISIS and policies to empower coalition partners to fight ISIS and its affiliates;<\/p>\n

(E) \u00a0mechanisms to cut off or seize ISIS’s financial support, including financial transfers, money laundering, oil revenue, human trafficking, sales of looted art and historical artifacts, and other revenue sources; and<\/p>\n

(F) \u00a0a detailed strategy to robustly fund the Plan.<\/p>\n

(b) \u00a0Participants. \u00a0The Secretary of Defense shall develop the Plan in collaboration with the Secretary of State, the Secretary of the Treasury, the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Director of National Intelligence, the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Assistant to the President for National Security Affairs, and the Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism.<\/p>\n

(c) \u00a0Development of the Plan.<\/em> \u00a0Consistent with applicable law, the Participants identified in subsection (b) of this section shall compile all information in the possession of the Federal Government relevant to the defeat of ISIS and its affiliates. \u00a0All executive departments and agencies shall, to the extent permitted by law, promptly comply with any request of the Participants to provide information in their possession or control pertaining to ISIS. \u00a0The Participants may seek further information relevant to the Plan from any appropriate source.<\/p>\n

(d) \u00a0The Secretary of Defense is hereby authorized and directed to publish this memorandum in the Federal Register<\/em><\/p>\n
