Iraq Campaign 2003. Royal Navy and Royal Marines by Robert Fox. - Cranston Military Prints

Iraq Campaign 2003. Royal Navy and Royal Marines by Robert Fox.


Iraq Campaign 2003. Royal Navy and Royal Marines by Robert Fox.

The Iraq campaign of 2003 saw the largest deployment of British armed forces since the Gulf War of 1990 and the biggest allied amphibious operation since Suez in 1956. The challenge was daunting, but the men and women of the Royal Navy and their Marines and Fleet Air Arm, supported by the Royal Fleet Auxiliary, rose to it magnificently. This book sets out the key stages of the war as it was experienced by the Navy and the Marines. For its preparation, the Navy has given unique access to the archive of remarkable pictures taken by its own photographers during the campaign. The Navy has also given the author special access to the servicemen and servicewomen who took part. In these pages, they tell the story of their campaign in their own words. They tell it with the modesty and humour for which the British armed forces are renowned.

Originally conceived as a replacement for the US Army's ageing Bell UH-1s, the UH-60 Black Hawk first entered service in 1979 and has since served in almost every campaign that US and coalition forces have been involved with. This UH60 is landing to pick up troops in Iraq in 2004.

Desert Hawk by Ivan Berryman.		 During February 2003, fourteen RAAF F/A-18 Hornets flew to Al Udeid airbase in Qatar for air operations over Iraq as part of Operation Falconer. This was the first overseas deployment of Australian fighter aircraft for combat operations since July 1953 when RAAF Meteor F8s flew their last ground attack missions of the Korean War. The Australians were airborne from the start of the airstrikes on 20th March and continued in the thick of the action of the air campaign until the end of combat operations on 27th April, by which time they had flown 350 combat missions and dropped 122 laser guided bombs. Their missions ranged from air defence to interdiction and close air support and included operations with Australian SAS and Commando forces, as well as numerous missions flown in support of US Marines involved in fierce street fighting around Baghdad and Tikrit. The Hornets returned to Australia in May after one of the most successful combat deployments in the history of the RAAF.
