US, Allies Reviewing Bomb Stockpiles for ISIS Fight

Airmen load a precision-guided munitions on an A-10 Warthog in Afghanistan.After six months of conducting widespread airstrikesacross northern Iraq and Syria in a campaign that shows no signs of abating, the U.S. military and its allies are re-evaluating the size of their bomb stockpiles, according to a senior Pentagon official. The review would ensure that the weapon supply in the U.S. and overseas is adequate to meet current and future strikes against Islamic State militants. It comes after three years of reduced weapon spending due to federal budget caps and a drawdown of combat forces in Afghanistan and Iraq.
