US Central Command Air Forces says that five USAF C-130s, four C-17s and contracted aircraft—two B-747s, one B-757, and one AN-124—flew in more than 750,000 pounds of equipment and supplies last week. That brings the Air Force-orchestrated airlift to more than eight million pounds.
The U.S. sent Air Force F-16s over central Syria in a show of force following the Dec. 13 killing of two U.S. Army Soldiers and one American civilian interpreter by a gunman linked to the Islamic State group.
