In the military of the United States, strikes and raids are a group of military operations that, alongside quite a number of others, come under the formal umbrella of military operations other than war (MOOTW).[1][2] What the definition of a military strike is depends on which particular branch of the military is using them.[3] However, they do have formal, general, definitions in the United States Department of Defense's Joint Publication 1-02:[3]
For the United States Air Force, strikes and raids are the least common types of MOOTW, there only having been eight of them in the period from 1947 to 1997, including Operation Just Cause, Operation Urgent Fury, and Operation El Dorado Canyon.[6] For the United States Marine Corps, the latter was also a raid, and Operation Praying Mantis was a strike.[7]
