Working Paper 1) Use air forces to take land along main supply routes and put our forces on that land to cut land into chunks which causes massive disruption to command and control and their supply chains. If ISIS attacks we hit all their forces coming with another airstrike. Only humanitarian aid and unarmed refugees will be allowed to go through. 2) Send 3000 more coalition troops to Iraq and Syria each in order to train their armies respectively. 3) All countries with a significant Islamic population should make their people aware of the true teachings of the Quran though various mass media like TV, radio, Internet, Magazines, morning assemblies, etc. All school in the Middle Eastern countries should teach the true meaning of the Quran and Islam. 4) Rehabilitation centers should be set up with the help of the UNHRC in areas where people were subjected to scenes of violence. 5) Send UN peacekeeping forces to Sunni tribal areas to tell them about how we are helping them and convince them to be on our side. 6) Sell oil to the countries earlier dependent on the oil fields now in ISIS territory at low prices. 7) Press for an international consensus against the payment of ransoms to terrorist groups. 8) Implementation of an international hotline in order to make the citizens take more responsibility and then contact the hotline if they are aware of any ISIS activity and then be ready with possible reconnaissance troops and this would help reduce civilian casualties greatly. 9) Put coalition ships to patrol the Suez canal 10) Encourage countries which may be in danger of coming under the “Black Map” to strengthen their boarders with military troops from their own individual armies for their own protection.
