	The Normandy Campaign: Operation Cobra
		Operation Cobra was the code name given to the attack launched as part of the Normandy Invasion, an attempt by the allies to overtake German troops in France.
		In order to do so, it was necessary for infantry to break through the German lines between the rivers Vire and Lozon, at opposite sides of the peninsula (Keegan 29).
		Operation Cobra had proven to be successful, and had provided the Allies with the means to finally overcome German troops in France.

	Operation Migration - In the Field - Summer 2000
		We have learned from previous studies that in order to keep birds as wild as possible it is important to reduce the amount of "human contact" they are exposed to.
		Operation Migration is the Ontario-based conservation organization founded by sculptor-naturalist William Lishman, whose pioneering migrations with geese were the focus of the book "Father Goose" and the film "Fly Away Home."
		By September 2001, Operation Migration hopes to be leading young whoopers on a fall migration from nesting grounds in Necedah to wintering grounds in Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge on Florida's Gulf Coast.

	WWII Campaigns: Sicily
		He ordered that the 1st and 2d Battalions, 504th Paratroop Regiment, the 376th Parachute Field Artillery Battalion, and a company from the 307th Airborne Engineer Battalion be dropped near Gela on the night of 11 July.
		Although overshadowed by the Normandy invasion a year later, Operation HUSKY was actually the largest amphibious operation of World War II in terms of the size of the landing zone and the number of divisions put ashore on the first day of the invasion.
		Their conservativeness was somewhat justified, for multinational amphibious operations of this magnitude had never been attempted before, and the initial landings would have been outside of the range of Allied fighter cover.

	Wendell Fountain in WW2
		Operation HUSKY was the largest landing prior to the Nomandy Invasion.
		However, the defense of the invasion at Salerno was so intense at one point that the general in charge, General Mark Clark, had to arm as infantry two artillery battalions, the regimental band, all the HQ orderlies, and the cooks in order to avoid getting surrounded by the Germans at the Battle of Ponte Bruciato.
		Originally, this operation was called ANVIL but the name was changed because it was believed the German’s had discovered the significance of the code word.

		Third, while Brereton's decision to conduct a daylight operation permitted an accuracy unrealized in previous airborne operations, his decision not to attempt a second lift on D-day was disastrous for the 1st Airborne Division.
		At the operational level of war, the Army developed and adopted a doctrine of Active Defense based largely on the perceived "lessons" of the battle for the Golan Heights, fought in the earliest days of the 1973 war.
		The Syrian operational objective was to retake the Golan, which was part of the territory it lost to the Israelis in 1967.

		The invasion of Sicily, codenamed Operation Husky, the landings at Salerno, codenamed Operation Avalanche and the landings at Anzio, codenamed Operation Shingle.
		Neither side has sufficient resources to do the job properly, and improvisation and desperation are the order of the day, and as a result all three battles are tense and exciting affairs.
		They were thrown against the enemy as a necessity of war, and the fact that these battles were not on the direct path to victory does not in the slightest diminish their dedication or sacrifice.

	Battle HQ
		In Operation Husky, the invasion of Sicily, the Axis player must plan carefully in order to extract the best possible performance from some less than committed Italian troops, while the Allied player must somehow find a way around or through the many natural defensive obstacles in their way.
		In Operation Avalanche, the invasion of the Italian mainland, the Germans can exert severe pressure on the Salerno beachhead, but must defend against Allied forces coming to the relief of the amphibious forces.
		Operation Shingle, the Anzio landing, was a bold Allied move to break the stalemate caused by the strength of German defensive lines.

	Allied invasion of Sicily - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The invasion of Sicily was a major Allied amphibious and airborne operation involving British, Canadian and American forces, tasked with taking the island from the Axis forces (Italy and Nazi Germany).
		Alexander changed his mind and countermanded his orders, but Patton claimed the countermand was 'garbled in transmission', and by the time the position had been clarified Patton was at the gates of Palermo.

	Operation Anvil/Dragoon
		Operation Anvil was planned as a supporting action for Operation Overlord, the Allied attack on Normandy.
		Operation Torch, the Anglo-American landings against French North Africa in November 1942, was followed by Husky, the assault against Sicily in early July 1943, and the invasion of southern Italy in September.
		At Hitler's personal order, vital coastal enclaves were to be defended to the last man. However, at that critical juncture in the Southern France Campaign (Anvil), the German High Command began to reevaluate its entire position in the west.

	Battles In Italy Wargame War Game
		It takes you to three of the toughest fought battles in the Mediterranean -- the invasion of Sicily, codenamed Operation Husky, the landings at Salerno, codenamed Operation Avalanche and the landings at Anzio, codenamed Operation Shingle.
		All aspects of a battle are reported to the player, allowing them to make fully informed decisions before a battle, and to determine whether a particular outcome was the result of good/poor generalship or blind luck.
		However, terrain and weather on almost all of the Italian mainland were perversely unsuited to offensive operations by a modern mechanised army and these factors, together with the fighting abilities of the German army meant that Allied attacks were usually made at great cost for little gain.

		The most macabre was Operation Mincemeat, one of the most successful disinformation exercises of the war, which deceived the Germans about allied intentions to invade Italy in 1943.
		Thanks largely to Seraph's deception, Operation Husky, the invasion of Sicily by nine allied divisions, achieved surprise, went well and was followed by the assault on southern Italy.
		Assigned to the Mediterranean, Seraph was involved in preparing for Operation Torch, the allied invasion of north Africa in November 1942.

		Operation HUSKY (the Allied invasion of Sicily) and Operation TORCH (the Allied invasion of North Africa), were both highly successful in spite of the lack of dedicated deception.

		The operation was to begin in western Egypt, where the British Commander in Chief, Middle East, General Sir Harold R. Alexander, was to attack with the veteran British Eighth Army under Lt. Gen.
		As time for the invasion approached, the German air arm had ceased to represent a real threat to Allied ground operations, and Allied bombers could shift their attention to transportation facilities in France in an effort to restrict the enemy's ability to move reserves against the invasion.
		Seeking to end the battle of the hedgerows, the British attempted to break into more open country near Caen, only to be thwarted by concentrations of German armor.

		Operation Husky Combat Magazine #9 Review by Alan Sharif Whilst clearing out the darkest recesses of some cupboard space the other day, I stumbled across an old copy of Combat magazine, complete with its issue game Operation Husky.
		However, the entire package had a beginners enthusiasm that you could easily find infectious, either that or nostalgia is getting the better of me. Operation Husky, a simulation of the campaign in Sicily, was typical of a Combat issue game.
		The order of battle used is decidedly suspect but does not resort to carbon copy cookie-cutter type combat strengths.

		During the built up to HUSKY the Australian corvettes were busily engaged in escort work.

		It was in the early hours of next morning that the order to vacate the olive grove was given and we had to creep out as quietly as possible in single file, back to town.
		However it was the single backup available unit, and since the OKW had ordered that Termoli is kept "at all the costs," he was immediately sent to the front.
