In response to Turkey’s reckless intervention in northern Syria, Senator Ernst, a combat veteran and chairman of the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Emerging Threats and Capabilities, called on the Department of Defense (DoD) and the Department of State to provide a clear plan to Congress outlining the United States’ strategy to defeat ISIS.
Senator Ernst spoke on the Senate floor on her resolution, which asks the DoD for a strategy—within 30 days—to address the ongoing threat ISIS poses regionally and globally, the plan to prevent an ISIS resurgence and to mitigate the threat the terrorist organization poses to the United States and our allies, and to describe how our gains against them since 2014 will be protected.
