Note: In the early 1990s, Canada
provided a detachment of CF-18 Hornets for the air defence mission in Operation
Desert Shield. The force performed combat air patrols over operations in Kuwait
and Iraq, undertook a number of air-to-ground bombing missions, and, on one
occasion, attacked an Iraqi patrol boat in the Persian Gulf.
In the late 1990s, Air Command's
CF-188 Hornets took part in the Operation Allied Force in Yugoslavia, and in
the 2000s, AIRCOM was heavily involved in the Afghanistan War, transporting troops
and assets to Kandahar. Later in the decade-long war, AIRCOM set up a
purpose-specific air wing, Joint Task Force Afghanistan Air Wing, equipped with
several CH-146 Griffon and CH-147 Chinook helicopters, CC-130 Hercules and
leased CU-170 Heron UAVs in support of the Canadian Forces and ISAF mission.
The wing stood down on 18 August 2011.
From 18 March to 1 November 2011
the RCAF was engaged in Operation Mobile, Canada's contribution to Operation
Unified Protector in Libya. Seven CF-18 Hornet fighter aircraft and several
other aircraft served under Task Force Libeccio as part of the military
intervention.
On 17
April 2014, Prime Minister Stephen Harper announced Canada is sending six
CF-18s and military personnel to assist NATO in operations in Eastern Europe.
