fter a more than decade-long involvement in Afghanistan, the air wings of multiple nations had expected some respite from years of combatA activity by late 2014, as the NATO-led mission completes its transition of control to the authorities in Kabul. World events do not tend to follow such established military plans, however, and the end of the conflict with the Taliban has instead overlapped with a resurgence of violence and renewed coalition involvement in the Middle East. Led by the USA, a large number of nations are now involved in a campaign intended to degrade the fighting capacity and also target the leadership of the Islamic State militant movement. Launched by Washington in late September, the ongoing action in Iraq has been expanded to include air strikes by combat aircraft from Australia, Belgium, , Denmark, , the and the UK, while Iranian McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantoms are reported to have been separately involved. In Syria, the USA has been supported by its Gulf allies in conducting strikes on Islamic State targets, with aircraft from Bahrain, Jordan, Saudi Arabia and the having been involved to date. This widespread coalition – which also involves other nations not participating in direct combat – is a continuation of the alliance formed by many involved in the Afghanistan mission, plus others that had supported the NATO-directed campaign to protect Libyan civilians in 2011. In hardware terms, the allied intervention has provided an opportunity for the US to perform its first offensive acts using fIGHtInG the Lockheed Martin F-22, with Raptors involved as the activity intensified against threats inside Syria. Having already been in- volved in performing air drops of humanitar- ian supplies in northern Iraq, the Royal On mAnY Australian Air Force sent a detachment of Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornets to conduct strikes from Al Minhad air base in the UAE.
