Operation Red Dawn

Operation Red Dawn was a military operation conducted by the United States armed forces on December 13, 2003 in the small town of ad-Dawr in Iraq, near Tikrit. The operation resulted in the capture of the country's former president Saddam Hussein, and put to rest rumors of his death. The operation, and its two main checkpoints, were named for the 1984 film Red Dawn.
