About Operation Iraqi Freedom:
In 2003, American forces led an attack on Saddam Hussein's Iraq. At the vanguard
of the attack were the almost invincible M1 Abrams and robust M2 Bradleys. The
armoured vehicles of Iraq’s forces were rapidly knocked out of action when confronted
by these powerful.
Operation Iraqi Freedom consisted of the largest special operations force since the Vietnam War. While the vast majority of special operations forces were American, the United Kingdom and the Australian militaries also provided forces. In northern Iraq there was a significant special operations presence. Coalition personnel worked with Kurdish fighters against the regime. SOF helped bring in the 173rd Airborne Brigade, and marked and called in coalition air power on regime targets. Special operations forces were also responsible for attacking a number of specific targets such as airfields, weapons of mass destruction sites, and command and control headquarters. In the south, special operations personnel gave aid to conventional forces and did some of the work in the cities to help the Shi'ia elements.
