Defense One: The 5,548 ISIS Targets Struck By Coalition Air Forces, in 3 Charts

The Pentagon’s latest data release finally includes airplanes that were destroyed in fall 2014.

The U.S. military’s share of the air campaign against ISIS is holding steady. In both February and March, American forces carried out about 70 percent of the coalition’s air attacks against targets in Iraq and 93 percent of them in Syria, according to figures released today by CENTCOM officials.

Since the air campaign began on Aug. 8 last year, U.S. and coalition forces have hit 5,548 ISIS targets, including 1,096 fighting positions and 762 buildings, according to the CENTCOM data. That includes 234 targets since March 18, the last time the command released strike data.
