At the request of the Iraqi Government, the Air Task Group of Operation OKRA is operating within a US-led international coalition assembled to disrupt and degrade Daesh operations in Iraq and Syria. The Air Task Group comprises six RAAF F/A-18A Hornets fighter aircraft, an E-7A Wedgetail airborne command and control aircraft, and a KC-30A Multi-Role Tanker Transport air-to-air refuelling aircraft.

There are up to 350 personnel deployed, at any one time, to the Middle East Region as part of, or in direct support of the Australian Air Task Group.
