In 2014, the armed offensive of the Islamic State (IS, also known
as ISIL, ISIS, or Daesh) in northern and western Iraq and
northeastern Syria raised significant concerns for the United
States. After first ordering multiple deployments of U.S. troops to
Iraq to provide security to diplomatic personnel and facilities,
advise Iraqi security forces, and conduct intelligence gathering
and reconnaissance, President Obama began ordering U.S. military
airstrikes on IS forces in Iraq in August 2014. Later in September,
after laying out plans for expanded use of military force against
the Islamic State in a televised speech to the American people, the
President ordered U.S. military airstrikes in Syria against both IS
forces and forces of the "Khorasan Group," identified by the
President as part of Al Qaeda. The intensified U.S. military
engagement has raised numerous questions in Congress and beyond
about the President's authority to use military force against the
Islamic State. This book discusses the issues and current proposals
for the use of military force against the Islamic State.
