His pan so far is to form a coalition of ten nations and degrade and destroy ISIS.
Pretty short on details except for this.
Quote:
The coalition consists of the U.S., U.K., France, Australia, Germany, Canada, Turkey, Italy, Poland and Denmark.
Kerry acknowledged that not all countries in the coalition would be comfortable directly supporting military actions. "Everybody can do something," he said. "People can contribute either ammunition or weapons or technical know-how or intel capacity."

Sounds an awful lot like what we did in Iraq eleven years ago except that that was the largest coalition ever assembled. Around thirty countries if I'm not mistaken.
