"Operation Enduring Freedom" (OEF) is the official name used by the U.S. government for the War in Afghanistan, together with three smaller military actions, under the umbrella of the global "War on Terror" (GWOT).

The operation was originally called "Operation Infinite Justice" (often misquoted as "Operation Ultimate Justice"), but as similar phrases have been used by adherents of several religions as an exclusive description of God, it is believed to have been changed to avoid offense to Muslims, who are the majority religion in Afghanistan. U.S. President George W. Bush's remark that "this crusade, this war on terrorism, is going to take a while", which prompted widespread criticism from the Islamic world, may also have contributed to the renaming of the operation.

The Operation comprises several subordinate operations:

#Operation Enduring Freedom � Afghanistan (OEF-A)

#Operation Enduring Freedom - Philippines (OEF-P) (formerly Operation Freedom Eagle)

#Operation Enduring Freedom - Horn of Africa (OEF-HOA)

#Operation Enduring Freedom - Pankisi Gorge (completed in 2004)

#Operation Enduring Freedom - Trans Sahara (OEF-TS) (see also Insurgency in the Maghreb (2002 � present))

#Operation Enduring Freedom - Caribbean and Central America (OEF-CCA)

#Operation Enduring Freedom - Kyrgyzstan (completed in 2004)

The term "OEF" typically refers to the war in Afghanistan. Other operations, such as the Georgia Train and Equip Program, are only loosely or nominally connected to OEF, such as through government funding vehicles. All the operations, however, have a focus on counterterrorism activities.

Operation Enduring Freedom � Afghanistan, which is a joint U.S., UK and Afghan operation, is separate from the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), which is an operation of North Atlantic Treaty Organisation nations including the USA and UK. The two operations run in parallel, and although it has been intended that they merge for some time, this has not yet happened.

When I heard the song, I immediately knew that I had to make a video for those who have given their time and put their family and personal lives on hold to fight for the freedom of others. For those serving and who have served, thank you and when the day comes...may there be proud Americans to stand there and say, "Welcome home."

This video is not recommended for children, mothers/fathers/husbands/wives of troops in Iraq/Afghanistan, or anyone with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder. PFC Rang, US Army, reacts to a rocket attack in Camp Victory, Baghdad, Iraq. On February 18th, 2008, Victory Base Complex (VBC) received a record-setting rocket attack: 16 rockets during a single attack, varying between 107mm and 240mm in size. The attack was on President's Day of 2008. Most of the rockets landed in an Iraqi housing complex near Baghdad International Airport (BIAP), killing 5 Iraqis, injuring at least 1 baby, 5 children, 1 teenager, and 1 adult. Few rockets landed in Camp Victory, injuring 2 soldiers. 6 Iraqis were arrested, suspected of launching or aiding the attack.

6.20 min. | 5.0 user rating		 After the devastating terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001, the US government decided military action was the only way to weed out the perpetrators and ensure that such horror would never reoccur. Featuring previously classified battle footage and an introduction by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, Operation Enduring Freedom documents this highly effective military action in Afghanistan.
65.90 min. | 3.29 user rating		 * This App is now available on the App Store. For more info, visit www.SnakeHeadSoftware.com. The war in Afghanistan began following the attacks of September 11, where the United States launched a mission known as Operation Enduring Freedom. The purpose of this military campaign was to destroy the Al-Qaeda terrorist training camps outside Afghanistan. In 2001, the United States sent several teams of CIA Paramilitary Officers and US Army Special Forces to invade Afghanistan. Backed by US air strikes against the Taliban and Al-Qaeda forces, the Northern Alliance overtook Kabul and overthrew the Taliban. Afghanistan, with the help of the Russians are trying to overtake those US Forces. Your mission is to hold your position and repel the invading Russian / Afghanistan forces. Good Luck Soldier!
