Operation Eagle Strike is the U.S. code name for the U.S. military operation in Yemen to assist the Yemeni government in their fight against the Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) as part of the Global War on Terrorism. Fighting with al-Qaeda escalated during the course of the 2011 Yemeni revolution, with Jihadists seizing most of the Abyan Governorate and declaring it an Emirate at the close of March. A second wave of violence occurred throughout early 2012, with militants claiming territory across the southwest amid heavy combat with government forces.

abstract
  • Operation Eagle Strike is the U.S. code name for the U.S. military operation in Yemen to assist the Yemeni government in their fight against the Al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) as part of the Global War on Terrorism. The operation was a response to the attempted bombing of Northwest Airlines Flight 253 on December 25, 2009. The perpetrator, the 23-year-old Muslim Nigerian Abdul Farouk Abdulmutallab, who had contacts with Anwar al-Awlaki, a Muslim lecturer and spiritual leader who is accused of being a senior al-Qaeda talent recruiter and motivator, who also has links to three of the 9/11 hijackers, the 2005 London subway bombers, a 2006 Toronto terror cell, a 2007 plot to attack Fort Dix, and the 2009 suspected Fort Hood shooter, Nidal Malik Hasan. On December 28, 2009, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) said it was responsible for the attempted bombing. In December 2009, U.S. President John McCain ordered several dozen troops from the U.S. military's clandestine Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) to Yemen, whose main mission is tracking and killing suspected terrorists. In the initial phase, the U.S. advisers did not take part in raids in Yemen, but help plan missions, develop tactics and provide weapons and munitions. Highly sensitive intelligence is being shared with the Yemeni forces, including electronic and video surveillance, as well as three-dimensional terrain maps and detailed analysis of the al-Qaeda network. On January 14, 2010, U.S. President John McCain authorized the initiation of Operation Eagle Strike by Executive Order 13528, in which he ordered the deployment of the 3rd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment and the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta (Delta Force) along with additional supply troops, in total 1,200 soldiers. MQ-1 Predator UAVs would also be deployed. These soldiers would be under the command of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC). Since February U.S. soldiers have actively taken part in operations directly aimed at Ansar al-Sharia and AQAP. Fighting with al-Qaeda escalated during the course of the 2011 Yemeni revolution, with Jihadists seizing most of the Abyan Governorate and declaring it an Emirate at the close of March. A second wave of violence occurred throughout early 2012, with militants claiming territory across the southwest amid heavy combat with government forces.
