Welcome to The Official Royal Air Force Annual Review 2013. The Royal Air Force enjoyed an exceptionally busy and successful year in 2012. Our primary focus has, as ever, remained the continued support of operations, across Afghanistan, as well as our standing commitments. We have also played key roles in Her Majesty the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations and in the success of the London 2012 Olympics. Following our extremely successful contribution to NATO's Operation Unified Protector over Libya, which unequivocally demonstrated the capability and value of Air Power, the Royal Air Force has continued to develop its tactics and operational ability, building on our core capabilities and acting upon lessons identified. Our Combat Air capability, embodied by the Tornado and Typhoon Forces, continues to expand and is ably complemented by our exceptional Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance suite of capabilities that, once again, proved critical to facilitating combat-winning decisions.
