1983, Lightning invasion of grenada
1983 10 in order to maintain its hegemonic position in the Caribbean, the United States launched an armed invasion of Grenada. The cause of the war was a military coup in Grenada. On the grounds of "urgent need" of Caribbean countries and "protection of overseas Chinese", the United States dispatched "rapid deployment troops", took a surprise attack, and used satellites, precision-guided weapons and modern logistics support equipment. Grenada's high-tech equipment is almost zero, and the US military will make quick decisions at a small cost and achieve its strategic goals within eight days. To this end, the U.S. military has tasted the sweetness of military high technology and pursued the global strategy of force more unscrupulously. The American invasion was condemned by people all over the world.
1989, raided Panama at night.
1989, 1989 In the early morning of February 20th, 1989, under the pretext of "protecting the lives and property of American nationals", the U.S. government dispatched 26,000 elite troops composed of the armed forces of the army, navy and air force to carry out a surprise attack on Panama under the night code-named "just cause". The operation was completed within 48 hours, and the Panamanian National Defence Force did not even have time to organize effective resistance. 1990 65438+1On October 3, noriega, head of the Pakistani military government, walked out of the Vatican Embassy in Pakistan and surrendered to the US military. The "just cause" action ended in June 65438+1October 65438+February. In this operation, the US military used six F- 1 17A stealth fighter-bombers for the first time, and adopted a new combat mode. Only 23 people were killed in the battle. From199065438+1October 12 to199165438+1October, the US military turned to "free propaganda" in Panama.
1990, the sword stabbed Liberia.
1On June 3, 990, the United States announced the implementation of "Operation Sharp Blade" on the pretext that Liberia's civil war threatened its national security, and sent an amphibious combat force consisting of 4 warships, 27 fighter jets and 2,335 fighter jets from the Mediterranean Sea to the waters near Liberia for standby. On August 4, after the rebels in Liberia threatened to arrest all foreigners in the country, the US Marines invaded Monrovia, the capital of Liberia, by sea and air, took control of the US Embassy in Liberia and surrounding areas, and began to carry out evacuation operations. The operation lasted until 199 1 1 9, and 2,600 foreign nationals including 330 Americans were evacuated from Liberia.
1992, armed intervention in Somalia.
1992 65438+On February 4th, according to the UN Security Council resolution, under the banner of "humanitarian aid", the United States announced that it would send 28,000 troops to participate in the aid operation in Somalia. 12 At the end of February, the US military completed its military deployment in Somalia. According to the original plan, the United States should hand over the control area to the United Nations peacekeeping force 1993 1 at the end of June and withdraw its emergency intervention force. However, at the beginning of 1993, American troops stationed in Somalia began to get involved in armed conflicts many times. On June 30th, the US military ordered a reward for the capture of Aideed, the armed leader of Aideed faction in Somalia. On June 3rd, 65438 10, American soldiers clashed with Aidid's troops, and the American army used helicopter gunships. Aidid commanded 2,000 armed men and handled more than 20,000 peacekeeping troops. A total of 56 peacekeepers and more than 500 Somalis were killed in the conflict, including 18 American soldiers, 3 helicopter gunships and some military vehicles. 1994 March 2 1 day, American troops left Somalia.
1994, soldiers invaded Port-au-Prince.
1991September 30th, a military coup took place in Haiti, and the democratically elected President Aristide fled to the United States after being overthrown. On July 3, the Haitian military government and the fugitive president reached an agreement, demanding that the United Nations send military and political personnel to help Haiti restore order and prepare for Aristide's return to China to resume his post. However, Haiti's military government failed to fulfill its obligations.
1From June to July, 1994, the United States took the opportunity of the Haitian military government to expel the United Nations civilian investigation mission, which prompted the Security Council to adopt resolution 940 on July 3 1 and decided to set up a multinational force headed by the US military15,000, and took all measures to force the Haitian military government to step down. On August 15, US President Bill Clinton issued an ultimatum to the Haitian military government, ordering the US military to prepare to send troops to Haiti. 18 In September, under the pressure of the American army, the Haitian military government reached an agreement with the United States, stipulating that15,000 multinational troops headed by the United States would be stationed in Haiti from September 19 to carry out the action of "upholding democracy". On June 5438+09, when the first batch of American soldiers landed in Port-au-Prince, there was a small-scale conflict between Haitian troops and demonstrators. Since then, there have been many armed conflicts between the two sides. The number of US troops stationed in Haiti once reached 20,000. 1In March 1995, the US military handed over the task to the UN peacekeeping force.1In April 1996, all US troops were evacuated.
1998, against Sudan and Afghanistan
1On August 20th, 998, in retaliation for the terrorist bomb attacks on American embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, the United States ordered warships cruising in the Red Sea and Arabian Sea to attack targets in Sudan and Afghanistan with Tomahawk cruise missiles.
The United States retaliated against terrorist activities with missiles, which attracted worldwide attention. It is generally believed that using state terror to deal with group or individual terror can only make the world more horrible and chaotic.
1994, Tomahawk missiles attacked Bosnia and Herzegovina.
In order to weaken the military strength of the Bosnian Serbs and force them to accept the peace plan for Bosnia and Herzegovina proposed by the United States, NATO forces, mainly the US navy and air force, violently bombed the Bosnian Serb military targets and some civilian facilities for two weeks from August 30, 65438 to September 20, 994. On September 10, the US Navy guided missile cruiser Normandy launched 13 Tomahawk cruise missiles at Serbian air defense facilities in northeast Bosnia and Herzegovina. There are about 170 aircraft used by NATO for air strikes, including about 87 in the United States. The operation code is "prudent power". During the two-week air raid, NATO aircraft dispatched about 3,400 sorties (including about 850 sorties carrying out bombing missions and dropping 1000 tons of various ammunition), destroying 56 important Serb targets. 60%-70% of Serb air defense facilities and operational command facilities were destroyed or paralyzed, nearly 30%-40% of ammunition depots were blown up, and 2%-5% of heavy weapons were destroyed. Serbs were finally forced to accept NATO's condition of stopping bombing. 300 heavy weapons were withdrawn from around Sarajevo, and only one NATO plane was shot down.
1999, flagrantly attacking Yugoslavia.
65438+1From March 24 to June 9, 1999, in order to seek strategic control over Eurasia, especially the Balkans, the NATO group headed by the United States brazenly launched a large-scale strategic air strike code-named "Allied Forces" against the sovereign country Yugoslavia. This is the first war of aggression against sovereign countries outside the defense zone since the 50th anniversary of the founding of NATO, and it has also realized the transformation from a regional military organization to a global military organization. The "Allied Forces" action is a high-tech air raid. Taking advantage of the staged achievements of the new military revolution, NATO has comprehensively applied the concepts of force delivery, information warfare, nonlinear warfare, precision strike, anti-out-of-zone strike and anti-out-of-zone command to actual combat. NATO attacked important political, military, economic and civilian targets in Yugoslavia. The United States and NATO used all modern weapons except nuclear weapons in the war, including internationally banned cluster bombs, depleted uranium bombs and graphite bombs.
200 1, Afghanistan is the first choice for counter-terrorism.
The "911"incident was the largest and most disastrous terrorist attack in American history. After the incident, the United States quickly targeted Afghanistan in Central Asia and launched a military strike codenamed "Enduring Freedom". The U.S. military strike against Afghanistan began on 200 1 10/0/0/7 October. The United States and its allies have deployed nearly 80,000 troops around Afghanistan, including about 50,000 American troops, using five aircraft carrier formations, four amphibious alert brigades and more than 500 fighter planes. By the end of 200 1, 65438+2,31,the US military had dispatched more than 5,000 combat aircraft and dropped more than 2,000 bomb missiles/kloc-0, of which more than 60% were precision-guided munitions. Through military strikes, the Taliban regime was overthrown and Al Qaeda's network in Afghanistan was basically destroyed. The war in Afghanistan is a war launched by the United States in the name of "anti-terrorism", and it is an asymmetric war with wide disparity in strength with precision air strikes as the main strike style. It started a series of "anti-terrorism" wars in the United States in the new century.
Large-scale invasion of Iraq in 2003.
On March 2 1 2003, in Sevan, southern Iraq, an American marine stood on an armored vehicle and passed by the portrait of Saddam Hussein on the roadside. On that day, American troops crossed the Iraq-Kuwait border and advanced into Iraq. It is reported that the United States and Britain have captured Iraq's Gulf port Umm Qasr, and British soldiers have landed on the Faw Peninsula south of Baghdad. ...
