This book contains these articles:
1. British Forces in Babylon - Operation "Telic"
The British war effort in Operation "Iraqi Freedom" is called
Operation "Telic". British land forces sent into the ITO numbered
some 26,000 troops and included the famed "Desert Rats", the "Red
Devils" and the Royal Marines. The British were responsible for
operations in southern Iraq and the capture of Basra and its
vicinity. Heavy fighting erupted in Umm Qasr, Al Faw peninsula, and
Basra. A combined effort of Challenger 2 MBTs, paras, commandos and
mechanized troops finally secured Basra, after street-to-street and
sometimes house-to-house fighting. Superb images of the British
elite forces in action during the campaign.
2. Operation "Falconer": The Australian Effort in Iraq
Australia contributed some 2,000 personnel to the 2003 Gulf War,
around 500 of them were the elite SAS and commando troops.
Australian forces operated primarily in western Iraq, hunting down
possible SCUD launchers and weapons of mass destruction, and
cutting off escape routes of Saddam loyalists into Syria and
Jordan. Again superb images showing the 4RAR Commando and SAS in
action.
3. 3-158 AVN in "Lightning Storm II"
To prepare the war against Iraq, US forces fielded Exercise
"Lightning Storm II" in Germany in late 2002 for training
non-combatant rescue and evacuation operations. 3-158 Aviation
Regiment was the key player in this exercise, with UH-60 Black
Hawks providing the heliborne platform.
4. New Challenges for Operation "Unicorn"
A sequel to Vol.24's Operation "Unicorn" article. The article on
Ivory Coast follos the action with the French troops in an
exceptionally illustrated article.
5. USMC Force Recon
Article on the elite Force Recon Marines. Rare images of the
operators in inflatables, ship boarding exercises, diving training,
SPIE rigging, HALO, TRUEX, intelligence gathering, and artic
training.
