The war against terror contines.
Although the Islamic State (ISIS) has ceased to pose an existential threat in the Middle East, the US-led coalition continues to pound ISIS targets with airstrikes.
To be sure, the monthly number of airstrikes has dropped significantly from past years. The Air Force Magazine reported that in November 2018, the Coalition conducted 1,424 airstrikes; in November 2019, 153 airstrikes; and in November 2020, 14 airstrikes. Nowadays, Coalition aircraft mainly target weapon cashes and high-value targets.

Below are some of the most notable Soldier stories of the year:
Soldiers on COVID-19 frontlines
