US is sending military equipment ex-Afghanistan to Iraq to fight the ISIS

#USMilitary #ISIS #Kuwait #Afghanistan With the possibilities of a war with the ISIS imminent, the US Military has been moving military equipment to Kuwait so that these can be shipped across the border into Iraq for possible use in a coordinated offensive against the terrorist group Islamic State, according.
It is reported that the gear is being housed near a busy commercial port and consists of nearly 3100 vehicles – most of these are ambush-protected vehicles known as MRAPs, Apart from these, there are electronic equipment and other supplies. The gear, which is primarily from the U.S. Army, will be repaired and assessed for use depending on where these are to be deployed.
The war is against the Islamic State, also known as ISIS.
The equipment is being progressively moved to prepare for a major offensive in order to help Iraqi and Kurdish Peshmerga fighters take back territory from Islamic State. No time frame has been declared.
A large portion of this stockpile is from Afghanistan - the original plan of destroying, selling or giving away as much as $7 billion worth of equipment in Afghanistan to aid the war effort there, had been scrapped due to the rise of ISIS. And – those equipment are now being diverted to Iraq.
It seems nearly 140,000 people and 333,000 tons of cargo shipments of thousands of vehicles and 20-foot shipping containers have been moved out of Afghanistan so far this year.
