Gulf War - OIF
Operation Iraqi Freedom
Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) took place from 2003 to 2011. The invasion
took place in the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks in September 2001. It was
suspected that Iraq had weapons of
mass destruction (WMD) that it would possibly transfer to terrorist
groups and it was suspected that Iraq participated in the some manner in
the 9/11 attacks. Proof of WMDs and it's participation in 9/11 is somewhat
lacking. In 2011 OIF
was renamed Operation New Dawn
(OND) - signifying the end to combat operations and the train, advise, and
assist phase of the war.
