ISIS is disintegrating in Iraq and the last battle will be in Mosul.
Their only path to retreat is into Syria Raqqa - its last stronghold.

The "noose tightening strategy" with large conventional force, with mechanized armour, with close air support if facing resistance and the blockade to starve ISIS from food, water, logistics, ammo, weapons, manpower, finance etc will demoralise them, weaken them, diminish their capacity to fight.
The noose tightening can be done inch by inch, foot by foot - imposing tremendous strain on ISIS and they will wilt and disintegrate without raising a good fight.
ISIS will disintegrate without the need to overpower them with overwhelming forces and firepower thus this will :-
(1) Reduce friendly forces casualties
(2) Reduce civilian casualties
(3) Reduce infrastructure damages
(4) Force unconditional surrender from ISIS - and take them to International Court of Justice for punishment for committing atrocities and genocides.
And this is in fact a more compassionate way to defeat ISIS.
Minimal sound and fury to overcome ISIS.
