US, Coalition Forces Used Cyberattacks to Hunt Down ISIS Command Posts

Military.com 25 May 2018 By Matthew Cox

"This is a vignette that actually played out during and after the battle of Mosul and after the battle of Raqqa," said Gen. Stephen Townsend, who commanded Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve in 2017.
