  • Red Flag for a World Coalition
    Red Flag for a World Coalition 40 AIR FORCE Magazine / August 2006 Red Flag for a World Coalition The February Red Flag in Nevada featured Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, British, and Australian forces, with more than 130 aircraft and 2,500 troops taking part. Photography by Richard VanderMeulen Over the Nevada desert, an F-15E waits off the wing of a KC-135 tanker for its turn to take on fuel. AIR FORCE Magazine / August 2006 41 he Air Force’s premier realistic Ttraining exercise, Red Flag, played out in an unusual way in the skies over Nellis Air Force Base and the Nevada Test and Training Range this winter. For the first time, dedicated “aggres- sor” F-15s took part. Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and foreign forces honed their skills for upcoming deploy- ments. Red Flag’s hallmark is realistic combat in a controlled environment, featur- ing battles against skilled opponents. The opportunity to engage dissimilar aircraft using enemy tactics is also important and is often a change for units that typically fly against others from the same unit. Taking off at right is an F-15E of the 90th Fighter Squadron, Elmendorf AFB, Alaska. Afterburners lit, this F-111 of the Royal Australian Air Force takes off and has not yet closed its landing gear door. The RAAF is the last air force still flying the F-111. Nations such as Australia come to Red Flag for the opportunity to fly with the US and to take advantage of the vast Nellis range. At right, an F-16C from Cannon AFB, N.M., takes off with an assortment of air- to-air missiles hung on its wings.

  • Operation Odyssey Dawn (Libya): Background and Issues for Congress
    Operation Odyssey Dawn (Libya): Background and Issues for Congress Jeremiah Gertler, Coordinator Specialist in Military Aviation March 28, 2011 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R41725 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Operation Odyssey Dawn (Libya): Background and Issues for Congress Summary The ongoing uprising in Libya against the government of Muammar al Qadhafi has been the subject of evolving domestic and international debate about potential international military intervention, including the proposed establishment of a no-fly zone over Libya. On March 17, 2011, the United Nations Security Council adopted Resolution 1973, establishing a no-fly zone in Libyan airspace, authorizing robust enforcement measures for the arms embargo established by Resolution 1970, and authorizing member states “to take all necessary measures … to protect civilians and civilian populated areas under threat of attack in the Libyan Arab Jamahiriya, including Benghazi, while excluding a foreign occupation force of any form on any part of Libyan territory.” In response, the United States established Operation Odyssey Dawn, the U.S. contribution to a multilateral military effort to enforce a no-fly zone and protect civilians in Libya. Military operations under Odyssey Dawn commenced on March 19, 2011. U.S. and coalition forces quickly established command of the air over Libya’s major cities, destroying portions of the Libyan air defense network and attacking pro-Qadhafi forces deemed to pose a threat to civilian populations. From the outset of operations, the Obama administration declared its intent to transfer command of operations over Libya to a coalition entity. On March 28, 2011, the NATO Secretary General announced that NATO would take over command of all aspects of military operations within a few days.
