Fifteen years after the end of Op Telic – the UK’s part in the invasion of Iraq – those behind one of Britain’s biggest modern military logistics operations reveal how it was done.
As UK forces prepared to go to war in 2003, the mission was clear: deploy 32,000 troops and the vast amount of equipment needed to fight a conventional conflict – and do it in just ten weeks.
Through first hand accounts we go behind the scenes of the deployment, uncovering the scale, pressure and complexity of moving Britain’s war machine into theatre at speed.
