Since mid-June of this year, the Pentagon has spent as much as $1.1 billion on U.S. military operations against Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria.
This includes $62 million alone in Navy airstrikes and Tomahawk cruise missiles.
In data released Monday, U.S. Central Command says the Navy has dropped roughly 185 munitions, including 47 cruise missiles launched from ships in the region.
Central Command, said Air Force fighter jets have far exceeded those numbers, launching close to 1,000 munitions. The $62 million is only for Navy munitions. No costs were provided for Air Force munitions.
The major costs were for the 47 Tomahawk cruise missiles fired by American warships.
