ISIS seems to operate on very much the same level as traditional guerrilla warfare always has. Small bands of ISIS fighters will attack a target and if successful, will kill all and then take a shitload of booty.
They don't always win, but when they do they leave dozens of dead in their wake and end up with more weapons, ammo and equipment that they can deal with. They don't seem to need to be re-supplied...they get all they need from whomever they attacked and defeated.
ISIS fighters like to hit Iraqi and Syrian outposts or small military camps/depots that are not well defended. Often the battle will begin with a suicide bomber or two hitting the target followed very soon by dozens of ISIS fighters on foot, and driving tacticals.
These fighters are armed with a vast array of weapons (AK-47's, M-16's, M4A1's, RPG's, sniper rifles, mortars, TOW missiles, grenades, artillery and often captured tanks, etc.). Tacticals are pick-up trucks loaded with anti-aircraft guns and other heavy weaponry and they are highly mobile.
This first set will, as will the others to follow, begin with images of the initial assault/attack, enemies that were killed, destruction, and the booty that was collected. Some will Sets contain more gore than others.
