Appendix B
ORDER-OF-BATTLE AND SORTIE DATA FOR
SELECTED OPERATIONS
This appendix presents USAF air order-of-battle (AOB) and sortie
data for two recent peace operations:
•
Operation Joint Endeavor (OJE)
•
Operation Uphold Democracy.
OPERATION JOINT ENDEAVOR
Operation Joint Endeavor was established to implement the peace
agreement signed in Dayton, Ohio, on November 21, 1995, between
Bosnia’s Croatians, Muslims, and Serbs. On December 15, 1995, the
United Nations Security Council authorized the establishment of a
NATO-led multinational military Implementation Force (IFOR),
consisting of ground, air, and sea forces from NATO and 14 nonNATO countries. On December 16, the North Atlantic Council (NAC)
directed that NATO implement OJE and began deploying the main
force into Bosnia.1
Table B.1 presents the USAF AOB from January 18, 1996, through
September 6, 1996. These data were compiled from IFOR Air
Component Fact Sheets published on the Internet.2 Table B.2 pro______________

vides the USAF sortie data during this time, from the same source.3
The sortie data are presented according to functional areas: combat
air patrol (CAP), close air support (CAS), and support sorties.
Using the data presented in Table B.1, we categorized the aircraft by
mission type—air superiority, ground attack, multirole, or support—
and present them in Table B.3. Figure B.1 presents these AOB data
graphically, and Figure B.2 charts the cumulative sorties flown.
______________
3 Data on all countries participating with air forces are provided at this site. We pre-
sent data only for USAF aircraft.

type used. The numbers for each aircraft are cumulative for sorties
flown, cargo delivered (in short tons), and passengers delivered
(PAX). The last three columns present the cumulative total for all aircraft. Figures B.4, B.5, and B.6 graphically break down, by aircraft
