We recently uploaded two videos supplied by the U.S. Military showing American involvement in the little-known war in Libya against the Islamic State’s branch office in Libya.  Following the 2011 Libyan Civil War, which the U.S. also intervened in, various militias and factions arose to fight for control of Libya.  Into that chaotic situation came forces belonging to ISIS (the Islamic State) moved in to attempt to do to Libya what they are doing in Iraq and Syria.

On August 1, 2016, the Government of National Accord (GNA) which is the internationally-recognized goverment of Libya, requested American military assistance.  The U.S. then began official military operations in support of the GNA.  U.S. airstrikes against the Islamic State (aka Daesh or ISIS or ISIL) then began.

The following videos were supplied by the U.S. military, and are now on the Historyguy’s YouTube channel.  If you like this type of content, please be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel so you can be notified as we upload more interesting videos.
