摘要

Air operations supporting US and coalition forces in Afghanistan and Iraq underscore America's continued reliance on long-range bombardment aircraft. Staging from within the continental United States, Oman, and British bases at Royal Air Force (RAF) Fair-ford in the United Kingdom and Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean, B-1B, B-2B, and B-52H bombers played a crucial role in the overthrow of the Taliban government, disruption of the al-Qaeda terrorist organization, and defeat of the Baathist regime in Iraq. Close air support from loitering bombers over the area of operations also proved noteworthy. Whether requested by special-operations troops on horseback in Afghanistan (with the latest in satellite-communications gear) or by intelligence assets on Baghdad street corners, the bomber force delivered precision munitions on any target, anywhere, thus demonstrating the viability, flexibility, and adaptability of the twenty-first-century Airman and long-range bombardment aviation.
