Operation (or Op) TELIC is the codename under which all British operations of the 2003 Invasion of Iraq and after are being conducted.
Operation Telic is one of the largest deployments of British forces since WWII.
Telic means a purposeful or defined action, but unlike the United States who called their equivalent military deployment Operation Iraqi Freedom, the Ministry of Defence uses a computer to generate its names so that they carry no meaning.

Operation TELIC (OP TELIC) is part of the US-led multi-national coalition to eliminate weapons of mass destruction in Iraq in order to achieve a stable and secure country.
Operations begin with the deployment of an organisation called the Joint Force Logistic Component (JFLogC) which deploys with its own EHO and is responsible for carrying out the enabling work required to receive the fighting forces.
The operation itself was a classic example of manoeuvre warfare - defeating rather than destroying the enemy - with the emphasis on winning the hearts and minds of the Iraqi people to force regime change.

Even without such commitments, the deployment of such a large proportion of the U.K. armed forces to the Persian Gulf in anticipation of potential military action against Iraq is unlikely to be sustainable beyond three or four months, and may well necessitate a larger call up of British reservists than has hitherto been the case.
Operation Telic, as the British Gulf build-up is codenamed (Telic meaning “expressing purpose”) will see the latest deployment of British troops join the 5,000 Royal Navy personnel already in the region or en route there, as well as the 4,000-strong amphibious force also on its way to the area.
