(#11) Operation Paul Bunyan
This was a plan to chop down a tree in the DMZ that was obscuring spying on the North Korean side. Earlier, North Korean troops had hacked two American soldiers to death who had been trying to chop it down. So out came the giant guy with the huge axe - and hundreds of armed troops and helicopters.(#15) Operation Warrior's Rage

Operation Gothic Serpent was a military operation conducted by United States special operations forces with the primary mission of capturing faction leader Mohamed Farrah Aidid.
(#26) Operation Centaur Rodeo
The centaur is the half-man/half-horse creature of Greek mythology. A rodeo full of centaurs - can you get more American than that? The operation itself - to disrupt weapons smuggling - is not nearly as awesome as its name.(#23) Operation Montana Mauler
An anti-infiltration mission against North Vietnamese forces - or a second-tier professional wrestler? You decide.

About This Tool
For confidentiality reasons, the U.S. military began to use military operation codes as early as World War II. At that time, the staff of the U.S. military selected more than 1000 common nouns and adjectives to form a list of operation names. One of the most distinctive features is the naming of the Normandy landing Operation Overlord. In 1975, a computer system for automated management of military operations names was developed.
Are you interested in military operations? The random tool collected the 30 most awesomely American names for military operations, and you can see more pictures here, such as Operation Eagle Claw, Operation Urgent Fury, etc.
