VAQ 142.gif 278x300 Operation New Dawn – Facts Behind the Iraq War NameAfter almost 9 years of invasion that ousted Saddam Hussein, US Defense Secretary Panetta finally packs up military flag on December 12, 2011. Operation New Dawn wrapped up their troops that include the last 4, 000 American troops completely withdrawn on December 18, 2011, leaving Iraq still tackling a destabilized but stubborn insurgency, sectarian tensions and political instability. Only 150 US soldiers are left in Iraq attached to the US Embassy located near the Tigris River.

Operation New Dawn is the latest Iraq war name designated by the Obama administration. The name given reflects the reduced role U.S. troops plays in securing the country this year as troop levels fall, according to a memo from Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates. Replacing Operation Iraqi Freedom, the new name took effect in September 2011, when U.S. troop levels are supposed to drop about 50, 000 in number.

The name change symbolized U.S. Military’s combat role in Iraq is rapidly drawing to a close. Base on the memo released in Feb 17 by Gates sent to Gen. David H. Petraeus, regional top commander, the name seeks to “recognize our evolving relationship with the Government of Iraq.”

On their official website, the troop defined themselves as “dedicated professional working with Iraqis to establish and enduring strategic partnership.” Their main purpose is to demonstrate through their actions the nation’s commitment to the Iraqi people and set the conditions for an enduring partnership with a sovereign, stable, self-reliant, and unified Iraq.

To exercise their sole purpose, Operation New Dawn helps BUILD Iraq’s civil capacity by abiding four main values which are: Build, Partner, Strengthen and Pressure. They helped build Iraq’s civil capacity by providing a secure environment for political, economic and institutional initiatives to succeed. Partner with the US Embassy Baghdad to enable a successful transition using a whole-of-government approach. Strengthen the Iraqi Security Forces by advising, training, assisting and equipping the force. Lastly, Pressure extremist networks through partnered counterterrorism operations.
