 Asia Times - Mission impossible for the Afghan army
As a joint ANA operation with the American-led coalition forces, operation Warrior Sweep aims at uprooting the resistance forces hidden in southeastern Paktia province of Afghanistan.
Operation Warrior Sweep, according to Davis, is a planned response to this development.
The ANA engagement in military operations to replace to the extent possible the American infantry units will certainly help the Americans decrease their casualties, but at the expense of weakening the embryonic Afghan military, whose poor training ensures high causalities.

 Rainbow Warrior bombing, 1985 - New Zealand Police
The discovery of an abandoned rubber Zodiac dinghy and an outboard motor and the sighting of a blue and white campervan, led to the interview of a French speaking couple two days later by the Police, and their subsequent arrest on 15 July.
Inquiries were however to suggest their role had only been one of support for those who had placed the explosive devices and, as part of their support role, they had picked up and transported from the rendezvous point at Hobson Bay one of those responsible for the placement of the explosive.
The Rainbow Warrior was refloated on 21 August 1985 and transported to Devonport Naval base in Auckland for detailed examination where a close analysis resulted in the reluctant decision by Greenpeace to scuttle the vessel, the damage being too extensive to repair.

 THE DETERRENCE OF OPERATION
To demonstrate the utility of Vigilant Warrior as a deterrence case study, it is first necessary to demonstrate that the Iraqi force movement constituted an actual threat to Kuwaiti territorial sovereignty.
Vigilant Warrior may have been an example of overreaction by US leadership, but it is more likely the first prominent example of effective conventional deterrence bu the US in the post cold war era.
Vigilant Warrior was "one of the quickest deployments of force in U.S. history" and its deterrent effect suggests that the speed should be considered as an explicit planning factor in deterrence response.
