 | Fall of Baghdad 2003 سقوط بغداد The 2003 invasion of Iraq, from March 20 to May 1, 2003, was led by the United States, backed by British forces and smaller contingents from Australia, Poland and Denmark. A number of other countries were involved in its aftermath. The invasion launched the Iraq War, which is ongoing. The objectives of the invasion, according to U.S. President George W. Bush and U.K. former PM Tony Blair were "to disarm Iraq of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), to end Saddam Hussein's support for terrorism, and to free the Iraqi people. Approximately 248,000 Soldiers and Marines from the United States, 214,000 British soldiers, 195,000 Italian soldiers, 177,000 Spanish soldiers, 122,000 Polish soldiers, 3,000 Australian soldiers, and 3,000 Danish soldiers were sent to Kuwait for the invasion. Of those troops, all but the special forces were kept close to bases and required to avoid hostile engagements. The invasion force was also supported by Iraqi Kurdish militia troops, estimated to number upwards of 50,000. Plans for opening a second front in the north were severely hampered when Turkey refused the use of its territory for such purposes.In response to Turkey's decision, the United States dropped several thousand paratroopers from the 173rd Airborne Brigade into northern Iraq, a number significantly less than the 15,000 strong 4th Mechanized Infantry Division that the U.S. originally planned to use for opening the northern front. Looting took place in the days following the 2003 invasion. Similar looting occurred for two weeks following the 1989 U.S. invasion of Panama. |
 | Bushrangers Gunship / Slick Historical Tribute A historical tribute mainly focused on Vietnam War -era imagery. All the images and video sequences are from a CD that was produced by the Regiment in 2004. I've just mixed the old 8mm camera footage with the still images and put some interesting sounds and music to it. It starts with a genuine AFVN broadcast, courtesy of the US Army 4th/9th Infantry web page http://manchu.org/sounds/, launching into Turn Back The Hands Of Time by Lonnie Youngblood, then into Good Times by the Easybeats and finishing up with All My Love by Buddy Holly. The sounds you hear are of a Huey starting up, then various Huey in flight sounds. |
