Airmen of the 332nd Expeditionary Security Forces, Balad AB, Iraq, have taken over law enforcement functions—replacing soldiers—for both Balad and nearby Camp Anaconda. The Security Force airmen will operate under Army tactical control, according to USAF officials.
The Air Force overall reduced its size by 120 aircraft in fiscal year 2021, but kept about the same number of fighter, bomber and attack aircraft, according to data supplied by the service. The F-35 fleet saw the biggest increase while the B-1B bomber fleet saw the largest decline.
