	The Fire Services
		Raids lasted from dusk to dawn, an eight-hour stretch in September which gradually extended to twelve hours as the winter nights lengthened.
		then onwards raids continued nightly, but with less ferocity, until 8th December, after which the attack on London was withdrawn and the fire services had their first real respite after three months of effort.
		But fire fighting seldom stopped with the dawn and it was quite usual for the men to work from ten to fifteen hours at a stretch.

	Dieppe - Veterans Affairs Canada
		I saw them go through the biggest of the war's raiding operations in wild scenes that crowded helter skelter one upon another in crazy sequence.
		There was a furious attack by German E-boats while the Canadians moved in on Dieppe's beaches, landing by dawn's half-light.
		Ross Munro of The Canadian Press, assigned to cover the Canadian troops in Britain, went ashore with allied shock troops storming the Dieppe beach on August 19, 1942, to get this first-hand story of the war's biggest commando raid.

	Barefoot And Naked: Operation Red Dawn
		Few so far have apparently picked up on the irony of the U.S. Army's choosing of "Red Dawn" as the operational name for the raid that captured Saddam Hussein (neither has John Milius).

	Scotsman.com News - Iraq - As dawn breaks, the Black Watch begins fightback
		The British soldiers were as civil and decent as it is possible to be on a dawn raid, but this operation, at least, had brought them no closer to untying the deadly knot of Islamic militants, Baathist nationalists and American military strategy in which they find themselves tangled.
		No prisoners have been taken, no significant weapons caches have been uncovered, and if the dawn raid yesterday is anything to go by, no reliable sources of intelligence have so far been tapped.
		Each member of the raiding party was equipped with an infra-red emitting headband to allow the constantly-circling American jump jet pilots to identify British troops in the darkness and avoid a âblue on blueâ - the accidental killing of a British soldier by allied forces.

		The five were arrested in dawn raids near Paris on Tuesday as part of an investigation into a British man's attempt last year to blow up a trans-Atlantic flight with explosives hidden in his shoes.
		Slimane Khalfaoui, a 27-year-old with joint French-Algerian nationality, tried to escape from a second-floor window during a dawn raid on Monday at his sister's apartment in the eastern Paris suburb of Montfermeil, but he was overpowered and detained.
		PARIS - A man described as an important member of the Al-Qaeda network in Europe is one of six people being held by French police in connection with an alleged plot to bomb Strasbourg cathedral two years ago.

	Winds of Change.NET: "Red Dawn"
		Never saw "Red Dawn", but a colleague used it as 1) and example of right-wing Reaganesque jinoism, and 2) paradoxically for the right-wing Reaganesque crowd, an insight into the Iraq insurgency and these sense of right and justice that they have for their cause.
		But "Red Dawn" gave them to us with the faces of American teenagers, in a situation that, though fantasy, was not utterly unthinkable.
		In fact, if "Red Dawn" is at all subversive in modern terms, it is so from the point of view of the right.

	Code name from '84 movie
		Washington - "Operation Red Dawn," the code name for the US raid which resulted in the capture of Saddam Hussein, appears to have been inspired by a 1984 film in which US teenagers battle a Soviet invasion of the United States.

	Dawn Raid
		Like the dawn raid in war, the corporate dawn raid is done early in the morning, so by the time the target realizes it's being attacked, it's too late - the investor has already scooped up some controlling interest.
		So, after a successful dawn raid, the raiding firm is likely to make a takeover bid to acquire the rest of the target company.
		Because the bidding company builds a substantial stake in its target at the prevailing stock market price, the takeover costs are likely to be significantly lower than they would be had the acquiring company first made a formal takeover bid.

		Operation Red Dawn, the code name for the US raid, appears to have been inspired by a 1984 film in which US teenagers battle a Soviet invasion of the United States.
		Six hundred troops were involved in Operation Red Dawn yesterday, but only a few saw the bearded and haggard-looking Saddam crawling out from the hole under a two-room mud hut, littered with clothes and smelling rank.
		Red Dawn, starring Patrick Swayze, Jennifer Grey, Lea Thompson, Charlie Sheen, Harry Dean Stanton and Powers Boothe, takes place in a typical small town in the midwest of the United States at the outbreak of World War III.

		When the raid that captured Saddam Hussein was coined Operation Red Dawn, the film found its place in history.
		It was never a question of whether John Milius&; Red Dawn would become a reference point in the war on terror; it was only a question of when and how.
		In Iraq the tables have turned; the United States is in a situation where we’re occupying a country and we have to make ourselves open to the attacks that the Wolverines were perpetrating in Red Dawn.

	The Raid on Dieppe - Operation Jubilee
		Two years after the raid on Dieppe, the Canadians landed on Juno Beach, and at dawn on June 6th, 1944, participated in the Battle of Normandy.
		This raid was intended to test defenses and to prove to the Soviets, who were asking for the establishment of a second front, that it was not easy to grab a foothold on the French coast.
		The aim of the raid was to destroy the German coastal defenses, the port structures and all the strategic buildings (petrol storage depots, radio and radar stations, headquarter centers and airfields).

	Amazon.co.uk: DVD: From Dusk Till Dawn 2 - Texas Blood Money [2000]
		The whole From dusk till dawn thing is pretty "off the wall" but that's what makes it what it is. Plus the direction from Scott Spiegel on this film is incredibly inventive and some of the most amazing I've seen.
		Robert Patrick in the lead delivers the comedy as well as the action with ease and plays the part to a T. It also really captures the Dusk till dawn feel of the first film.
		It segues into horror as heist man Duane Whitaker runs into a bat on the highway and proceeds to turn his gang into vampires who engage during a total eclipse in a Wild Bunch-style bank raid-cum-shootout.

		The film also endures in the military: When American troops were planning the mission that would ultimately lead them to Saddam Hussein, they called it "Operation Red Dawn"--and the two locations targeted in the raid were named "Wolverine One" and "Wolverine Two," in honor of the movie's band of teens-turned-freedom-fighters.
		THIS WEEK marks the twentieth anniversary of the first movie released with what was, at the time, the new rating of "PG-13." Called Red Dawn, it was a near-future tale of teenage guerrillas defending their hometown after the Soviets had invaded.
