Pentagon spokesman discusses ISIS preliminary plan
The Cabinet-level senior interagency forum, which usually does not include the president, already has received copies of the classified report, which Davis described as a framework for a broader global plan, read the Pentagon website.
President Donald J. Trump requested the plan in a Jan. 28 presidential memorandum.
“This is not just a military plan,” he told reporters during a briefing. “It draws upon all elements of national power -- diplomatic, financial, cyber, intelligence [and] public diplomacy, and it's been drafted in close coordination with our interagency partners.”
Davis was quoted as saying by Pentagon website, “This plan is truly transregional. This is not just about Iraq and Syria, it is about defeating ISIS around the globe,” and other transregional violent extremist organizations, such as al-Qaida.
“From the secretary's standpoint,” Davis said, “he is very committed to rebuilding readiness and is looking for us to find ways to do that quickly and in ways that reflect our being good stewards of taxpayer dollars.”
