[SP] "Second Battle of Fallujah" - RHS: USAF

Description:

The Second Battle of Fallujah, code-named Operation Phantom Fury, was a joint American, Iraqi, and British offensive in November and December 2004, considered the highest point of conflict in Fallujah during the Iraq War. It was led by the U.S. Marine Corps against the Iraqi insurgency stronghold in the city of Fallujah and was authorized by the U.S.-appointed Iraqi Interim Government.

This was the bloodiest battle of the entire Iraq War, and is notable for being the first major engagement of the conflict fought solely against insurgents rather than the forces of the former Ba'athist Iraqi government, which had been deposed in 2003.


1200 Hours, 9th November 2004.
Jolan District, NW Fallujah, Iraq.

Coalition forces have managed to get from the north in Fallujah, moving quickly to Highway 10, which crosses the city and divides it in two. The 3/5 Marines and the 3/1 Marines are in charge of the advance through the districts of Jolan and Muhandisin, with a large presence of insurgents of Chechen, Sudanese and Iraqi origin. Leaving aside the patrols on foot and other pacification actions, the Marines will enter the Jolan district to neutralize the insurgent presence, street by street.


You will play the role of a lieutenant, commanding two rifles squads, from 3/5 Marines, with the mission of cleaning the streets of Jolan from the insurgent resistance groups that are in its streets, at the beginnings of the Second Battle of Fallujah, which would be known later as the "heaviest urban fighting for the Marine Corps since the battle of Huế City in Vietnam, in 1968"
