The Navy welcomed the 26th Virginia-class fast-attack submarine to active service during a Saturday ceremony in Connecticut.
A U.S. official said that the attack was conducted using F-15 Eagle jets, A-10 Thunderbolt ground attack aircraft and AH-64 Apache helicopters.
Both soldiers were deployed with the 2nd Brigade Combat Team, which is currently conducting ongoing counter-terrorism operations in the region.
The U.S. currently has hundreds of troops deployed in eastern Syria as part of a coalition fighting the Islamic State group.
