At midnight, 31 July 07, Operation
Banner will cease.
See this
announcement from the MOD website.
I would like to pay tribute to those who served, and express my sympathy for the famillies and friends of the fallen, and to those who sacrificed their physical or mental wellbeing.
Yoy may be interested in this analysis (from an Army viewpoint) of
Banner, both out of general interest and beacause there are lessons that are applicable to today's operations.
Analysis
Maritime and Aviation aspects are discussed in chapter six.
