IIRC, France names its operations after colors. At least, the only opration's name I can remember is "Opération Turquoise" (a greener blue), i.e the failed attempt to monitor the Rwandan crisis.
Dunno how the operation in ivory coast is called.

quote: Originally posted by Jack the Bodiless The Americans like grandiose names, the Brits go to the opposite extreme (I presume it was the Brits who named the Arnhem assault "Operation Market Garden"?)

Yeah, since it was their show - Monty's big idea, never mind reality. It was a combined op, Market being the landing in Arnhem and securing the Arnhem Bridge, Garden being the supporting landings by US XVIII Airborne Corps in the countryside around Eindhoven, Son, Veghel and Nijmegen.

quote: If the rumors about SAS action around Basra are true, maybe "Operation Sand In My Sandwiches" is underway.

They're undoubtedly true, but whether they mean anything is another story. Beach marking and clearing special operations are a preliminary to hot amphibious assaults, but it could also be an elaborate ruse designed to draw Iraqi defenders to dilute themselves by extending the area they covered. This was done with great effect in GW I, and most of those Iraqi divisions covering the Kuwait beaches never got into the fight until they tried to boogie out on the so-called highway of death.

Yeah, the name of the operation is very important, as well as the other aspects of the war such as mottos, mascots, and back drops that news ppl will use to make the war look like fun.

If Australia had its way it would be "Operation Millenium War" and they would have three mascots, not one. They will be Millie, Olly, and Syd (punny names) and their logo would be three boomerags (since all ausies use those).

Horse, haven't you ever been to the Australian War Memorial? The Australian military's main job is to kill people and then steal all their property.

No kidding. The only Australians who regularly use the word 'freedom' are those employed to advertise tampons

Oh yeah - I'm amazed at all the loot relatives have brought back from various wars. I don't know how they carried it all.

Our troops also have a proud reputation for starting mutinies and riots, especially against other allied forces, wherever they go.

Best to keep them in the field at all times and away from populated areas
