Gordon W. Rudd (au). An Army operational study of a humanitarian intervention. The Kurds of northern Iraq had revolted against Saddam Hussein in the aftermath of Oper.

In response to the international outcry, the U.S. spearheaded the relief effort designated Operation Provide Comfort, a joint & multinational endeavor that involved U.S. Army, Air Force, Navy, & Marine Corps formations as well as military contingents from a dozen other countries. The objectives were to stop the suffering & dying & to return the refugees safely to northern Iraq. The Operation achieved its assigned tasks & became a model for the more demanding Amer.-led efforts that followed in Somalia, in Haiti, & in the Balkans. Maps & photos.
