The CV-22 can conduct shipboard and austere forward operations and is USAF’s sole high-speed vertical lift asset. It is also fully capable of operating in nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) warfare conditions. CV-22s first deployed to Africa in November 2008 and debuted in combat in Iraq in 2009.
