What Does OIF Stand For?

OIF stands for Operation Iraqi Freedom

Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) was a military campaign initiated by the United States and coalition forces in March 2003, aimed at toppling the regime of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein. The operation was justified on the grounds of eliminating perceived threats posed by Iraq, including the alleged possession of weapons of mass destruction. OIF marked the beginning of a prolonged military presence in Iraq, leading to efforts in stabilizing the country, rebuilding infrastructure, and addressing sectarian violence. The operation officially concluded in December 2011, transitioning to a focus on training and supporting Iraqi security forces.
