In the autumn of 2001 the United States, as a result of the attacks in New York and Washington, declared war on terrorism War with an enemy without a homeland had to be unconventional. It was waged mostly by small special forces units operating on land with a close cooperation of the Air Force. The land component consisted mainly of the Afghan opposition forces and small (considering the capabilities of the United States) American units of the Ground Forces. Although the latter were used in a very limited extent, some integration of the individual components allowed to destroy different targets simultaneously from land, air and sea. The operation was initiated with air raids, which were first directed at stated targets. Originally, their purpose was to destroy the existing (quite weak, though) system of air defense and communication infrastructure. Air supremacy was achieved quickly and the armed forces could be transported where they were needed. Yet, the most important issue in this war was information. The Americans, thanks to modern technology, acted with speed and precision. Modern technology proved its value and effectiveness.
