A little more info from a press call tonight about the bombings, like I said a little more, not much (text edited to exclude the boring parts)...
LIEUTENANT GENERAL SIMS: Thank you, sir. Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
Just to add quickly to what Mr. Kirby briefed, we did, in fact, strike at seven different facilities. Within each of those facilities, there were a number of targets. All told, as Mr. Kirby mentioned, 85. They were struck with multiple U.S. aircraft -- those aircraft from the U.S. Central Command, as well as, as mentioned, the B-1s that flew from the United States.
This has been in the planning since we were asked to look at it. This was designed around the weather, when we had our best opportunity as it related to the weather. That presented -- good weather presented itself today. And as a result, this took place.
As mentioned, it was seven different locations. Of those locations, four of them were in Syria and three of them were in Iraq.
I would -- in terms of munitions and the B-1, in terms of the flight -- I think is what you said there at the beginning -- I won't go into the particular munitions used. I would tell you it was more than 125, all of them precision, all of them designed to hit the exact spot that we mean to hit.
In terms of the flights from the United States, a single non-stop flight for the cruise, from the B-1s, all of that enhanced by our transportation command and our ability to gas and go along the way without any issues or incidents from the United States there and where they're at now.
I would just say it was a number of U.S. fighter aircraft from the Central Command AOR, in addition to the bombers. I won't get into the particular types and numbers.

DCANG uses Evers as far as I know, which is coincidentally also reserved for 9am local to 11. WILD seems to have gone to Pax, wondering if there’s more going up to Evers

Have seen them do this in the past--one group all depart same timeframe, then split-- a 2-ship to PAX, another 2-ship to Duke or Ft Drum and a third 2-ship to Evers.
AF2 99-0004 unannounced departure to ILG for visit to campaign headquarters

Yeah that’d explain the usual morning 6 jets that go up. Only 2 this morning though sadly

I was watching some of it. I don't think it went above 7,000 feet.
