June 27th, 2009
Coalition airpower integrated with coalition ground forces in Iraq and the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan during operations June 26, according to Combined Air and Space Operations Center officials here.

In Afghanistan, a coalition aircraft carried out strikes using guided bomb unit-12s and strafing passes to clear anti-Afghan snipers from a treeline and an open area. The jet engaged after the enemy snipers opened fire against a friendly unit near Sangin. Nearby other coalition multirole aircraft targeted an enemy building being used as a fighting position with GBU-38s and carried out a show of force to deter enemy forces from attacking a convoy.
