Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei irava - I tutuki i te roopu te kaha whakahaere tuatahi i roto i te F-16CJs i te 1996. I whakarerekehia te waehere hiku o te roopu mai i te "MJ" ki te "WW" hei whakanui i te taonga tuku iho o te parirau Wild Weasel. I te 8 o Hurae o taua tau, ko te roopu te tuatahi o nga Pacific Air Forces F-16 ki te whakauru hei tautoko i te Operation Southern Watch, te whakatinana i te rohe rererangi kore i te tonga o Iraq, na te huringa o te kaupapa here e tuku ana i nga waahanga katoa ki te whakauru. I te Operation Southern Watch, i rere te kapa i ana misioni whawhai tuatahi mai i te kaupapa o Mayaguez i te tau 1975
He aha? Mai i te 1996, kua tohaina te 13th FS ki Afghanistan, Iraq me Horano tekau nga wa, i te tau 2014 ki Horano i whakatuwherahia ai e nga Panthers te pakanga rererangi a US ki te Islamic State. I te mutunga ka mohiotia tenei mahi ko Operation Inherent Resolve (OIR).
