Since October 16, 2016, Iraqi government soldiers and other local militias are together locked in a violent confrontation with the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) in an attempt to liberate the city of Mosul from their control. The Iraqi coalition deploys a new unit that may turn the tide of the campaign to their favor - a squad of commando special forces notoriously known for wearing skull masks.

There is more to these soldiers than their eerie and menacing costumes. They underwent extensive training with the US military's top counter-insurgency advisers.

This unit calls themselves the Golden Division, and they represent the best infantry brigade spearheading the Mosul campaign. In fact, according to an article published by Maxim, it is estimated that each one of them is worth 10 seasoned ISIS fighters.

ISIS warlords now have a good cause to worry and even eventually withdraw their hold in Mosul City. The Golden Division recently dished out an all new destruction at the ISIS vanguard by executing a series of synchronized tactical detonation in the midst of the heavy bombardment by the Iraqi forces' artillery guns.

According to the report published by Daily Star UK, the Golden Division was the first unit to have penetrated the peripheral sectors of occupied Mosul City. In a single day, they have managed to clear out three neighborhoods as the ISIS retreats and rally their beleaguered forces deeper into the city.

It is important to take note that a week before the Golden Division was seen in action, the morale of the terrorists was already badly crippled by a solitary vigilante famously dubbed as The Sniper of Mosul - a character notorious for assassinating high-ranking ISIS officials and rescuing civilians. An article published by Jobs & Hire narrates the positive prognosis of the Iraqi campaign in light of the eroding control of ISIS control in Mosul City.
