The rise of ISIS and the inability of the Iraqi state to resist it was predicated on the Islamic State's use of landpower and the Iraqi government's inability to maintain a disciplined, cohesive standing army to resist it. The success of ISIS's land invasion of Iraq in June 2014 can be attributed to its innovations in employinglandpower, initially leading to the rise of militias to counter it, and taking close to three years for the anti-ISIS military forces to deal a strategic defeat to the Islamic State. Even after the Iraq's state's victory over ISIS as of the end of 2017, the Iraqi state's landpower still remains institutionally decentralized, divided among the Kurdish Peshmerga and Shi'a militias, raising questions as to future of cohesion of Iraq's land forces.
