The aircraft and their pilots provide cover from above for Afghan and coalition forces on the ground, deterring insurgent activity and allowing friendly freedom of movement. The F-16 also provides the ability to strike enemy structures and weapons caches. (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Benjamin Gonsier)
