The US combatant command responsible for the Middle East theatre, including the Arabian Gulf, the Persian Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz, Syria, Iraq, Djibouti, the Gulf of Aden and the eastern Mediterranean.
USCENTCOM aircrew documents form the largest and most coherent block in PURSUE Release 01: mostly MISREP mission reports and Range Fouler debriefs from 2016 to 2025, internally declassified by the USCENTCOM Chief of Staff on 8 October 2025 and approved for release to AARO. The infrared video 2020 CENTCOM Wave and the April 2021 Cluster are both drawn from this theatre.
