OP:GREY SPEAR: 5-7th July 2024 Weekend event, Leggots Quarry, Humber Airsoft

Operation: Grey Spear  

Background:

The 2011 Arab Spring ignited protests against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, escalating into a brutal civil war. Al-Assad's forces, bolstered by Russia and Iran, fought against diverse rebel groups, including the Free Syrian Army (FSA).

In 2014, a splinter group of al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), known as Daesh or ISIS, established a caliphate in northern Syria. Their brutal tactics drew condemnation from al-Qaeda itself, highlighting their extremism. Despite being pushed back, ISIS remains a threat.

By 2017, al-Qaeda merged Syrian factions to form Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS), also known as AQIS. Sharing al-Qaeda's ideology and tactics, HTS gained control of Idlib, posing a growing threat to Syrian stability and global security.

Turning Point:

In December 2018, US President Trump announced a rapid withdrawal of American troops from Syria, leaving Kurdish allies vulnerable. With unclear intelligence on AQIS, the British Secret Intelligence Service (SIS) deployed more agents to Idlib, supported by covert UK Special Forces (UKSF) under Task Force Trident.

Operation Grey Spear:

Intelligence revealed that ISIS' decline had merely strengthened AQIS/HTS, their radicalism now unchecked. Internal purges and a growing influx of foreign fighters returning to the West heightened concerns of global terror attacks. Consequently, HTS/AQIS became a high-priority target for multiple nations.

The UK government shifted its mission from intelligence gathering to Hunt/Capture/Kill of high-value targets (HVTs) in Idlib. Additional UKSF and Royal Air Force (RAF) assets were deployed, marking the initiation of Operation Grey Spear.
