The strike group entered the US 6th Fleet area of operations on April 18. It includes multi-mission capable platforms with strike; ballistic missile defense; and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities.
Operation Inherent Resolve is the US military's operational name for the military intervention against Daesh in Iraq and Syria. In Syria, the US military is acting without the approval of the Syrian government and without a mandate from the UN Security Council.
