Pentagon looking for future threats beyond ISIL

After missing the early stages of the Islamic State's rise into one of the world's most threatening militant groups, the Pentagon has begun a review to help anticipate possible threats beyond the Islamic State, military records show.
Called "Looking Beyond ISIL," the review was commissioned by Defense Secretary Ashton Carter's office to back the work of the Special Operations Command Central, which coordinates special operations in the Middle East, according to Air Force Maj. Eric Badger, a Pentagon spokesman.
