The Normandy Campaign: Operation Cobra (1586 words)
Operation Cobra was the code name given to the attack launched as part of the Normandy Invasion, an attempt by the allies to overtake German troops in France.
In order to do so, it was necessary for infantry to break through the German lines between the rivers Vire and Lozon, at opposite sides of the peninsula (Keegan 29).
Operation Cobra had proven to be successful, and had provided the Allies with the means to finally overcome German troops in France.
Operation Migration - In the Field - Summer 2000 (11302 words)
We have learned from previous studies that in order to keep birds as wild as possible it is important to reduce the amount of "human contact" they are exposed to.
Operation Migration is the Ontario-based conservation organization founded by sculptor-naturalist William Lishman, whose pioneering migrations with geese were the focus of the book "Father Goose" and the film "Fly Away Home."
By September 2001, Operation Migration hopes to be leading young whoopers on a fall migration from nesting grounds in Necedah to wintering grounds in Chassahowitzka National Wildlife Refuge on Florida's Gulf Coast.
