The 3d Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment's operations in Iraq
Article Abstract:
The 3d Battalion, 4th Marine Regiment (3/4) conducted a series of related military stability and support operations (SASO) from 10 March to 10 July 2004 that enabled the transfer of sovereignty to the Iraqi Interim Government. The countersurgency campaign and Marine SASO in Haditha District, Al Anbar Province are examined and it is also demonstrated that the current doctrinal principals of military operations other than war (MOOTW) combined with the lessons from the Small Wars Manual do work in SASO.
