The First Battle of al-Faw Operation Dawn 8 fought from February 9 – March 20, 1986 The Iranians launched a sophisticated, carefully-planned amphibious attack across the Shatt al-Arab river against the Iraqi troops defending the strategic al-Faw Peninsula, which connects Iraq to the Persian Gulf, capturing the tip of the peninsula, including Iraq's main air control and warning center The Iranians defeated several Iraqi Republican Guard's counter-offensives and managed to remain in to their foothold .A blow to the Iraqi government prestige, it sent a psychological shock wave throughout the region, primarily in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Iraq started to extensively improve the defenses of the major city of Basra, which was now under threat.

STORYLINE:
Coalition forces were continuing to push north Monday night, in their advance towards the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.
Earlier in the day, some British and American units continued to find more abandoned Iraqi defenses and set about to destroy dangerous devices in controlled explosions.
On Iraq's Al-Faw peninsula, units of the British Royal Marines and US Marine Corps met up with each effectively sealing-off any Iraqi fighters on the peninsula from their comrades in the rest of Iraq.
Light and heavy armour has been pouring into the region since British and US marines took control of the much of the southern port of Umm Qasr, at the tip of the peninsula.
Brigadier Jim Dutton, the commander of Royal Marines 3 Commando, said on Monday that some hostile Iraqi's remained in the area, but coalition forces had accomplished their present mission of securing the oil infrastructure at Al-Faw and securing the port of Umm Qasr to allow humanitarian aid supplies.
A US Marine officer, Lieutenant Dan Gelman, said the Iraqi troops they had encountered had put up little resistance "Once they saw what they were encountering, they decided they didn't want to play any more."
The Royal Marines are to remain in the Umm Qasr area to deal with pockets of enemy resistance, including Iraqi snipers, while the US Marines are being deployed further north.
The Al-Faw peninsula is Iraq's only outlet to the sea, and the site of extensive oil industry facilities. Newly constructed Iraqi defences along the seafront now stand abandoned.

It's being described as combat ineffective - a slightly cloudy picture as to whether there's an element of surrender, an element of disintegration - people seem to have just disappeared. But it is being reported as combat ineffective. So no resistance from really, the first key formed division of Iraqi army has transpired."

"If we are welcomed into Basra, that increases the pressure that is building up in the south, with the Ramallah oil
infrastructure taken intact, a major, the second, the major town in the south welcoming coalition forces, if that happens, increases the psychological leverage and pressure on the regime in Iraq."
11. Side shot Vernon
STORYLINE:
The Iraqi army's 51st Division positioned west of Basra had "disintegrated" a British military spokesman said on Saturday.
Some soldiers had surrendered, Lieutenant Colonel Christ Vernon said, while others had simply dissipated.
Speaking to reporters in Kuwait, he said a battle for Basra, the biggest city in southern Iraq, would have no strategic objective.
Commanders do not want to take risks as they press onward with their key mission, which is toppling Saddam Hussein, he said.
He said that military commanders do not want to engage in urban areas unless absolutely necessary.
But he said that if coalition troops were welcomed into Basra, the "psychological leverage and pressure on the regime in Iraq" will be increased.
Vernon also said allied troops successfully secured the Ramallah oil fields and six important gas-and-oil separation points, limiting the damage to Iraq's oil industry to a few fields set afire by Saddam's troops.

The Faw Peninsula (Persian: شبه جزيره فاو; also transliterated as Fao or Fawr) is a marshy region adjoining the Persian Gulf in the extreme southeast of Iraq, between and to the southeast of the cities of Basra (Iraq) and Abadan (Iran).
It is the site of a number of important oil installations, most notably Iraq's two main oil tanker terminals: Khor Al-Amaya and Mina Al-Bakr. Its chief importance is its strategic location, controlling access to the Shatt al-Arab waterway (and thus access to the port of Basra).
The only significant town on the peninsula is Umm Qasr, a fishing town and port which comprised Iraq's main naval base under the regime of Saddam Hussein. The peninsula is otherwise lightly inhabited with few civilian buildings other than a few fishermen's huts.
During the Iran–Iraq War in the 1980s, al-Faw was bitterly contested due to its strategic location at the head of the disputed Shatt al-Arab waterway, and was the site of many large-scale battles. In 1986, the Iranians capitalized on the weakness of the Iraqi defences located at the southernmost tip of the peninsula.

Earlier in the day, some British and American units continued to find more abandoned Iraqi defenses and set about to destroy dangerous devices in controlled explosions. On Iraq's Al-Faw peninsula, units of the British Royal Marines and US Marine Corps met up with each effectively sealing-off any Iraqi fighters on the peninsula from their comrades in the rest of Iraq. Light and heavy armour has been pouring into the region since British and US marines took control of the much of the southern port of Umm Qasr, at the tip of the peninsula. Brigadier Jim Dutton, the commander of Royal Marines 3 Commando, said on Monday that some hostile Iraqi's remained in the area, but coalition forces had accomplished their present mission of securing the oil infrastructure at Al-Faw and securing the port of Umm Qasr to allow humanitarian aid supplies. A US Marine officer, Lieutenant Dan Gelman, said the Iraqi troops they had encountered had put up little resistance "Once they saw what they were encountering, they decided they didn't want to play any more." The Royal Marines are to remain in the Umm Qasr area to deal with pockets of enemy resistance, including Iraqi snipers, while the US Marines are being deployed further north. The Al-Faw peninsula is Iraq's only outlet to the sea, and the site of extensive oil industry facilities. Newly constructed Iraqi defences along the seafront now stand abandoned.

SOUNDBITE: (English) Lt. Col Chris Vernon, British Military Spokesman: "If we are welcomed into Basra, that increases the pressure that is building up in the south, with the Ramallah oil infrastructure taken intact, a major, the second, the major town in the south welcoming coalition forces, if that happens, increases the psychological leverage and pressure on the regime in Iraq." 11. Side shot Vernon STORYLINE: The Iraqi army's 51st Division positioned west of Basra had "disintegrated" a British military spokesman said on Saturday. Some soldiers had surrendered, Lieutenant Colonel Christ Vernon said, while others had simply dissipated. Speaking to reporters in Kuwait, he said a battle for Basra, the biggest city in southern Iraq, would have no strategic objective. Commanders do not want to take risks as they press onward with their key mission, which is toppling Saddam Hussein, he said. He said that military commanders do not want to engage in urban areas unless absolutely necessary. But he said that if coalition troops were welcomed into Basra, the "psychological leverage and pressure on the regime in Iraq" will be increased. Vernon also said allied troops successfully secured the Ramallah oil fields and six important gas-and-oil separation points, limiting the damage to Iraq's oil industry to a few fields set afire by Saddam's troops.

But our forces have forced them to halt. Now, our forces in Al-Faw (region) are defending (gunfire starts in background) the city of Faw, together with members of the Ba'ath party and all the Iraqis (civilians) present in the city. The enemy is bringing more support and supplies and equipment, but our forces are still defending the city, protecting the city up to this minute."

Col Chris Vernon, British Military Spokesman: "If we are welcomed into Basra, that increases the pressure that is building up in the south, with the Ramallah oil infrastructure taken intact, a major, the second, the major town in the south welcoming coalition forces, if that happens, increases the psychological leverage and pressure on the regime in Iraq." 11. Side shot Vernon STORYLINE: The Iraqi army's 51st Division positioned west of Basra had "disintegrated" a British military spokesman said on Saturday. Some soldiers had surrendered, Lieutenant Colonel Christ Vernon said, while others had simply dissipated. Speaking to reporters in Kuwait, he said a battle for Basra, the biggest city in southern Iraq, would have no strategic objective. Commanders do not want to take risks as they press onward with their key mission, which is toppling Saddam Hussein, he said. He said that military commanders do not want to engage in urban areas unless absolutely necessary. But he said that if coalition troops were welcomed into Basra, the "psychological leverage and pressure on the regime in Iraq" will be increased. Vernon also said allied troops successfully secured the Ramallah oil fields and six important gas-and-oil separation points, limiting the damage to Iraq's oil industry to a few fields set afire by Saddam's troops.

But our forces have forced them to halt. Now, our forces in Al-Faw (region) are defending (gunfire starts in background) the city of Faw, together with members of the Ba'ath party and all the Iraqis (civilians) present in the city.

Defence chief Sultan Hashim Ahmed said Iraqi forces have forced the allied troops movement to halt in the Al-Faw peninsula. He outlined what he claimed was fierce resistance to the allied invasion by Iraqi forces and civilians in the Al-Faw peninsula and particularly in the city of Faw itself.

Minehunter returns from Libya action 04.07.11
The Royal Navy minehunter HMS Brocklesby has returned to its home base at Portsmouth, after spending six months clearing mines off the coast of Libya. The vessel was initially deployed as part of a NATO mine countermeasures group before it was deployed to Libya. At the end of April, Brocklesby found and destroyed a buoyant mine laid in the port of Misrata by pro-Gaddafi forces in a bid to stop humanitarian aid from reaching the port. The efforts meant that the MV Red Star could enter the port and evacuated more than 700 civilians injured during the fighting. A navy spokesman said that Brocklesby's actions were the first time that a Royal Navy minehunter had been involved in live mine clearance operations within range of hostile artillery and rockets since the campaign off the Al Faw Peninsula in 2003 during the second Gulf War. He added that it also saw the first operational use of the Seafox Mine Disposal System against live ordnance during conflict. The minehunter then spent its last few weeks patrolling and mine hunting in the waters off the Misrata coastline as the threat of mines and waterborne IEDs remained high, the spokesman added. The role has now been handed over to Faslane-based HMS Bangor. -
Iraq War (B)
In the southern town of Safwan, U.S. Marines tore down giant street portraits of Iraqi president Saddam Hussein, to the cheers of some local residents. British commandos, meanwhile, were able to secure oilfields in the south, a priority during the early stages of the war for the coalition.

Royal Marine commanders took up positions to hold the peninsula. Chinook helicopters then left to pick up more commanders. The pictures also showed thick black smoke rising in the distance, but APTN cannot confirm if the smoke is from burning oil wells. According to British Defence Secretary, Geoff Hoon, Iraqi troops set fire to about 30 of the hundreds of oil wells and processing facilities in the region. British troops took the southern portion of the peninsula in the first hours of the ground war. The elite British force encountered sniper fire when they secured defences on oil facilities in the area. There were no reports of casualties on either side.

If on the other hand it is true and we find some sort of room or a complex or bunker, then everything has been vindicated." 13. Various of Iraqi's watching from behind cordon 14. Wide of monument and British troops at work STORYLINE: British troops are investigating a site on the Al-Faw peninsula where local's believe there may be an underground prison. Army engineers were called in after British officers were alerted to a reported sound of scratching beneath the plinth of a wrecked statue of Saddam Hussein in Al-Faw. Some residents claimed they heard people shouting from under the plinth on Sunday and tried to break its concrete base with sledgehammers. They said shortly before the war started Iraqi forces arrived with trucks and made everyone leave. The British, who weeks ago carried off the statue as a war trophy, said they doubted there was any underground chamber but decided to help as part of the U.S.-led invading forces' campaign to win Iraqis' hearts and minds. Similar searches under the headquarters of military intelligence in Baghdad and a prison and security centre in Basra proved fruitless last week. With U.S. and British forces hoping to appear as "liberators" now that most fighting has ended in the war, Lieutenant Colonel Simon Wolsey welcomed the opportunity for his men to interact with the Iraqis. Some troops said they had tapped with hammers on the plinth's concrete on Monday and thought they might have heard in reply a grating sound of rocks being banged. But journalists trying the same on Tuesday heard no response.

STORYLINE:
British troops have battled with Iraqi resistance in the port city of al-Faw in southern Iraq.
As US-led troops continued the push northwards, British troops were trying to clear the al-Faw peninsula after several days of skirmishes with Iraqi resistance.
Several small explosions were seen as gunfire and missiles were fired at the target, a building where Iraqi troops were thought to be positioned.
The Marines took cover as the Iraqi militiamen fired shots, and eventually air support had to be called in.
Speaking from a position on a rooftop at the scene, Major Justin Holt of the Royal Marines said the plan was to "put as much firepower into it as we can" so that troops could gain an entry point into the building.
Large explosions were seen as Marines used grenades and gun fire for 20 minutes in an attempt to clear the building . A US Marines helicopter was seen flying overhead.
Marines eventually gained access to the building, but one grenade was thrown into a room containing a gas bottle. A second, unexpected explosion followed, and a Marine was seen running from the building, his clothes on fire. In total three Marines were injured, one seriously.

STORYLINE:
Coalition forces were continuing to push north Monday night, in their advance towards the Iraqi capital, Baghdad.
Earlier in the day, some British and American units continued to find more abandoned Iraqi defenses and set about to destroy dangerous devices in controlled explosions.
On Iraq's Al-Faw peninsula, units of the British Royal Marines and US Marine Corps met up with each effectively sealing-off any Iraqi fighters on the peninsula from their comrades in the rest of Iraq.
Light and heavy armour has been pouring into the region since British and US marines took control of the much of the southern port of Umm Qasr, at the tip of the peninsula.
Brigadier Jim Dutton, the commander of Royal Marines 3 Commando, said on Monday that some hostile Iraqi's remained in the area, but coalition forces had accomplished their present mission of securing the oil infrastructure at Al-Faw and securing the port of Umm Qasr to allow humanitarian aid supplies.
A US Marine officer, Lieutenant Dan Gelman, said the Iraqi troops they had encountered had put up little resistance "Once they saw what they were encountering, they decided they didn't want to play any more."
The Royal Marines are to remain in the Umm Qasr area to deal with pockets of enemy resistance, including Iraqi snipers, while the US Marines are being deployed further north.
The Al-Faw peninsula is Iraq's only outlet to the sea, and the site of extensive oil industry facilities. Newly constructed Iraqi defences along the seafront now stand abandoned.

The First Battle of al-Faw (Operation Dawn 8) fought from February 9 – March 20, 1986 (with heavy combat operations lasting until early 1988), was a battle of the Iran-Iraq War.The Iranians launched a sophisticated, carefully-planned amphibious attack across the Shatt al-Arab (Arvand Rud) river against the Iraqi troops (mostly Iraqi Popular Army) defending the strategic al-Faw Peninsula, which connects Iraq to the Persian Gulf, capturing the tip of the peninsula, including Iraq's main air control and warning center (which was covering Persian Gulf).

4. Cutaway Vernon speaking
5. SOUNDBITE: (English) Lt. Col Chris Vernon, British Military Spokesman:
"There was resistance I would call it, incoherent, but there were four enemy, Iraqis, killed. The British took no casualties but they did have a helicopter crash which as you know has been reported."
6. Cutaway press
7. SOUNDBITE: (English) Lt. Col Chris Vernon, British Military Spokesman:
"West of Basra, 51 Iraqi division, again one of the American RCT's is up there. It's being described as combat ineffective - a slightly cloudy picture as to whether there's an element of surrender, an element of disintegration - people seem to have just disappeared. But it is being reported as combat ineffective. So no resistance from really, the first key formed division of Iraqi army has transpired."
8. Wide shot Vernon speaking
9. Cutaway press
10. SOUNDBITE: (English) Lt. Col Chris Vernon, British Military Spokesman:
"If we are welcomed into Basra, that increases the pressure that is building up in the south, with the Ramallah oil
infrastructure taken intact, a major, the second, the major town in the south welcoming coalition forces, if that happens, increases the psychological leverage and pressure on the regime in Iraq."
11. Side shot Vernon
STORYLINE:
The Iraqi army's 51st Division positioned west of Basra had "disintegrated" a British military spokesman said on Saturday.
Some soldiers had surrendered, Lieutenant Colonel Christ Vernon said, while others had simply dissipated.
Speaking to reporters in Kuwait, he said a battle for Basra, the biggest city in southern Iraq, would have no strategic objective.
Commanders do not want to take risks as they press onward with their key mission, which is toppling Saddam Hussein, he said.
He said that military commanders do not want to engage in urban areas unless absolutely necessary.
But he said that if coalition troops were welcomed into Basra, the "psychological leverage and pressure on the regime in Iraq" will be increased.
Vernon also said allied troops successfully secured the Ramallah oil fields and six important gas-and-oil separation points, limiting the damage to Iraq's oil industry to a few fields set afire by Saddam's troops.

"Preparing for a ground assault on the Al-Faw peninsula, the enemy has brought their equipment to a deserted area in the northern area of Al-Faw and they are bringing in more equipment. But our forces have forced them to halt. Now, our forces in Al-Faw (region) are defending (gunfire starts in background) the city of Faw, together with members of the Ba'ath party and all the Iraqis (civilians) present in the city.

During a live report from Baghdad on the 'Arabiya' satellite television channel on Friday, Iraqi Information Minister Mohammed Said Al-Sahaf made an impromptu stop to invite channel staff to see damage caused by Friday's allied bombing raids over the city.
At a news briefing by the Iraqi Defence minister some three hours earlier, the gunfire and the sound of bombs exploding, was clearly audible.
Defence chief Sultan Hashim Ahmed said Iraqi forces have forced the allied troops movement to halt in the Al-Faw peninsula. He outlined what he claimed was fierce resistance to the allied invasion by Iraqi forces and civilians in the Al-Faw peninsula and particularly in the city of Faw itself.

The elite British force encountered sniper fire when they secured defences on oil facilities in the area.
There were no reports of casualties on either side.
Although they are members of the same commando unit, APTN cannot confirm whether the particular troops seen in these pictures with helicopters and preparing gear, were the ones who took part in the al-Faw operation overnight.

The Royal Navy minehunter HMS Brocklesby has returned to its home base at Portsmouth, after spending six months clearing mines off the coast of Libya. The vessel was initially deployed as part of a NATO mine countermeasures group before it was deployed to Libya. At the end of April, Brocklesby found and destroyed a buoyant mine laid in the port of Misrata by pro-Gaddafi forces in a bid to stop humanitarian aid from reaching the port. The efforts meant that the MV Red Star could enter the port and evacuated more than 700 civilians injured during the fighting. A navy spokesman said that Brocklesby's actions were the first time that a Royal Navy minehunter had been involved in live mine clearance operations within range of hostile artillery and rockets since the campaign off the Al Faw Peninsula in 2003 during the second Gulf War. He added that it also saw the first operational use of the Seafox Mine Disposal System against live ordnance during conflict. The minehunter then spent its last few weeks patrolling and mine hunting in the waters off the Misrata coastline as the threat of mines and waterborne IEDs remained high, the spokesman added. The role has now been handed over to Faslane-based HMS Bangor.

In the southern town of Safwan, U.S. Marines tore down giant street portraits of Iraqi president Saddam Hussein, to the cheers of some local residents.
British commandos, meanwhile, were able to secure oilfields in the south, a priority during the early stages of the war for the coalition.

In a boost for the coalition, American and British troops captured the Iraqi town of Umm Qasr. The port was to become a vital staging post for bringing aid and military supplies into Iraq.
As U.S. troops continued the push northwards, British troops tried to clear the al-Faw peninsula after several days of skirmishes with Iraqi resistance.
Oil fires were still burning at the Rumeila oil field - a day after U.S.-led coalition troops captured the area whose daily output of one point three SIC/White House Pool million barrels made it Iraq's most productive.

STORYLINE:
British troops are investigating a site on the Al-Faw peninsula where local's believe there may be an underground prison.
Army engineers were called in after British officers were alerted to a reported sound of scratching beneath the plinth of a wrecked statue of Saddam Hussein in Al-Faw.
Some residents claimed they heard people shouting from under the plinth on Sunday and tried to break its concrete base with sledgehammers.
They said shortly before the war started Iraqi forces arrived with trucks and made everyone leave.
The British, who weeks ago carried off the statue as a war trophy, said they doubted there was any underground chamber but decided to help as part of the U.S.-led invading forces' campaign to win Iraqis' hearts and minds.
Similar searches under the headquarters of military intelligence in Baghdad and a prison and security centre in Basra proved fruitless last week.
With U.S. and British forces hoping to appear as "liberators" now that most fighting has ended in the war, Lieutenant Colonel Simon Wolsey welcomed the opportunity for his men to interact with the Iraqis.
Some troops said they had tapped with hammers on the plinth's concrete on Monday and thought they might have heard in reply a grating sound of rocks being banged.
But journalists trying the same on Tuesday heard no response.

They were on board the CH-46 Sea Knight aircraft as part of the invading force of allied troops involved in seizing oilfields on the Al Faw peninsula - the first major operation in the invasion of Iraq.
The helicopter crashed at 00:37 GMT Friday morning in Kuwait , about 9 miles (15 kilometers) away from the border with Iraq.
Lt Col Ben Curry, a Royal Marines spokesman from the 3 Commando Brigade, said enemy fire was not being blamed for the crash.
The Marines use the Sea Knight, a bus-like helicopter with two large rotors, to fly troops from ships at sea or base camps to forward positions.
