Throughout June, U.S. Air Force Col. Rhett Brown, 387th Air Expeditionary Group commander, conducted a battle circulation with Airmen deployed to the U.S. Central Command Area of Responsibility in support of OPERATION Inherent Resolve’s Defeat-ISIS mission throughout Iraq and Syria.
The U.S. Air Force has maintained a presence in Iraq for over two decades, engaging in various missions. One enduring mission that U.S. Airmen continue to play a vital role in is Combined Joint Task Force-Operation Inherent Resolve (CJTF-OIR), which will mark its 10th anniversary in 2024.
