The long deployment
Article Abstract:
Aug 8, 2000, will mark the decade-long presence of the US Air Force (USAF) in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The enforcement of Southern Watch, which restricts the movement of Iraqi air forces in southern Iraq, has resulted in over 200,000 sorties by the USAF against Iraqi targets. Aside from its major impact on scarce USAF resources, the decade-long deployment has also resulted in the highest combat-readiness level of the air service in peacetime.
