US Central Command Air Forces said that USAF F-15s on Oct. 10 struck a group of building being used by insurgents as firing positions near Karabilah in Iraq. The Eagles launched three GBU-38 Joint Direct Attack Munitions against the buildings to aid coalition troops in the area.
Air Force depots are not typically meant for quick repair jobs, but during Operation Epic Fury, the service moved some of its stateside heavy maintenance capability forward to fix battle-damaged aircraft closer to the fight.
