Key: AEW
= Airborne Early Warning; CAP = Combat Air Patrol: CSAR
= Combat Search And Rescue; ECM = Electronic Counter Measures; QRA
= Quick Reaction Alert; PSW = Psychological Warfare; SEAD
= Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses; SIGINT = Signals Intelligence. A
considerable number of support and transport aircraft are also involved in maintain the
supplies to the combat zone. The USAF has committed an enormous amount of airlift assets
to this effort but of interest among the international transport aircraft is new Polish
An-28 operating from Bari. *The USAF air refueling assets have been strengthened
considerably since the campaign began with most of US based air refueling wings committing
aircraft from the Air Force Roserve command and Air National Guard. |
