The US military has deployed six F-16 strike fighters to Turkey's Incirlik Air Base to participate in the air campaign against ISIS terrorist organization in Syria, US Forces Europe said, according to dpa. The US Air Force Fighting Falcons were moved to the base along with support equipment and about 300 personnel in support of Operation Inherent Resolve. As part of the operation, the US has been carrying out airstrikes against ISIS targets in Iraq since August 2014 and in Syria since September 2014. The deployment of aircraft to Incirlik follows Turkey's announcement that it would host US aircraft for operations against ISIS forces. "The United States and Turkey, as members of the 60-plus nation coalition are committed to the fight against organization in the pursuit of peace and stability in the region," US Forces Europe said in a statement from Rammstein, Germany.
