The invasion of Iraq by Coalition forces on March 20, 2003, marked a significant military operation. The Coalition's armored fighting vehicles (AFVs) encountered a diverse range of enemy threats, including tank-on-tank clashes, enemy rocket-propelled grenades, cannon fire, antitank guided missiles, and improvised explosive devices (IEDs). This comprehensive new study delves into both the initial confrontations between opposing AFVs and the tactics employed by Iraqi insurgents to counter Coalition superiority. Illustrated with full-color photographs, battle scenes, weaponry, and tactical illustrations, the book draws upon firsthand accounts and official post-battle analyses to examine how Coalition forces adapted to the changing nature of the threats. Key topics covered include the coordination between Coalition infantry and air power, the challenges posed by roadside bombs in Iraq, and the lessons learned for future warfare.
