ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The Story Behind the Print:

December 2018 - F-15E Strike Eagles of the renowned "Bold Tigers" of the 391st Expeditionary Fighter Squadron struck a significant blow against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) within their claimed territory. Based at Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho, the Bold Tigers deployed to an undisclosed Middle Eastern location through early 2019 to support OPERATION INHERENT RESOLVE. Their lethal combat deployment proved highly successful, playing a vital role in advancing the defeat of ISIS and securing the region's stability.

The 391st Fighter Squadron, based at Mountain Home Air Force Base in Idaho, deployed to an undisclosed location in the Middle East for several months to carry out their mission. Known for their skill and lethality in combat, the Bold Tigers brought with them years of experience, as the F-15E Strike Eagle had been a backbone of U.S. air power for decades. The aircraft's ability to perform both air-to-air and air-to-ground missions made it an invaluable asset in the fight against ISIS, allowing the Bold Tigers to engage enemy forces and provide close air support to ground troops.

Throughout their deployment, the Bold Tigers played a key role in dismantling ISIS’s operational capabilities. They targeted key infrastructure, supply routes, and command centers, significantly weakening the terrorist organization’s control over the region. The F-15E's advanced avionics and targeting systems allowed the Bold Tigers to deliver precise, devastating strikes that minimized civilian casualties while maximizing the impact on ISIS forces. Their efforts contributed to the eventual liberation of key territories from ISIS control and were instrumental in pushing the terrorist group to the brink of defeat.

By early 2019, the Bold Tigers had returned to Mountain Home Air Force Base, leaving behind a legacy of courage and effectiveness in one of the most challenging combat environments of the 21st century. The success of their deployment was a testament to the skill of the squadron and the power of the F-15E Strike Eagle, which remains a symbol of American air superiority.
