From Ground Combat to Air Strikes: U.S. Military Actions Across the Globe

• Between 2021 and 2023, the U.S. government conducted counterterrorism operations in 78 countries. This includes ground combat in at least nine countries and air strikes in at least four during the first three years of the Biden Administration.
• While the total number of countries with U.S. counterterrorism operations has slightly decreased compared to 2018-2020, the overall military presence remains largely unchanged from the Trump Administration.
• The full scope of U.S. military operations is even broader, encompassing undisclosed missions, special operations, CIA activities, and psychological operations worldwide.
