As of February, 2017 the United States and coalition forces have launched more than 18,000 airstrikes in Iraq and Syria against ISIS targets. While aviation forces from Australia, Belgium, Canada, Denmark, France, Jordan, The Netherlands, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the United Kingdom have all participated the United States has executed almost 80% of the total missions.
Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Turkey and the UAE have only launched airstrikes in Syria. Over $11 billion has been spent on military action against ISIS since August 2014.
