Operation Details

The operation, calls for over 9,000 U.S Marines, Soldiers, Sailors and Iraqi Army members to strike deep into the less-traveled regions of RCT-2’s operating area.

Operation Mawtini, which will include the Iraqi Army’s 2nd and 3rd brigades of the 7th division, begins on the heels of Operation Harris Ba’sil which provided a better picture of enemy movement patterns and safe havens. The information gained during Harris Ba’sil will allow the Regiment to conduct focused disruption and security operations in those areas critical to the enemy.
