He highlighted that the nearly 11,000 coalition air strikes to date have inflicted significant damage on ISIS's ability to expand and hold its territory in Iraq and Syria. Senator Heinrich questioned General Votel on the kind of resources the military needs in order to continue to eliminate ISIS in a relentless and intelligent way,? and stressed the importance of encouraging Arab allies to provide the ground forces in the fight against ISIS.
