Strike Package

(Source: «Language of war. Decoding the jargon of war», Nicholas Watt and Rory McCarthy,The Guardian)

Before anyone gets too excited, this is strictly a military term to describe the vast array of hardware and technology supporting the bombing raids. When people watch the vast B-52 bombers taking off from Britain, or see their vapour trails high over Iraq, they are only seeing part of the bombing campaign. The "strike package" includes fighters, reconnaissance and early warning radar aircraft, and air-to-air refuellers, an RAF speciality.
