Operation Vigilant Resolve: The First Battle of Al Fallujah
2019
Overview
In his commander's comments of April 3, MajGen Mattis raised the difficulties of conducting offensive operations in Fallujah: \"My intent is to then enter the city from two directions, which will draw fire from guerillas and put us in a position to exploit our own well considered and conditions-based operation. Throughout the entire month of April, Battery A, 1st Battalion, 11th Marines, shot 30 counterfire missions against insurgent mortar and artillery rocket positions, and fired 14 missions to support the infantry. L. Paul Bremer III and the Coalition Provisional Authority had prevailed upon General Abizaid, head of Central Command, to order a cease-fire at the behest of the Iraqi Governing Council (IGC) in Baghdad. [...]he probably decided to cut his losses.
