Garry's Mod Realism | Middle East War Fallujah | RTGI Graphics

In February 2004, control of Fallujah and the surrounding area in the Al Anbar Governorate was transferred from the U.S. 82nd Airborne Division to the 1st Marine Division. Shortly afterward, on 31 March 2004, four American private military contractors from Blackwater—Wesley Batalona, Scott Helvenston, Jerry Zovko, and Michael Teague—were ambushed and killed in the city. Images of their mutilated bodies were broadcast around the world. Journalist Jeremy Scahill later called this incident the Mogadishu moment of the Iraq War (referencing the Battle of Mogadishu, also known as the "Black Hawk Down" incident). Although tactical commanders in Iraq considered these deaths militarily insignificant, U.S. political leaders disapproved of a measured approach targeting the perpetrators and instead requested a larger assault into the city. Within days, U.S. Marine Corps forces launched Operation Vigilant Resolve (5 April 2004) to take back control of the city from insurgent forces. On 28 April 2004, Operation Vigilant Resolve ended with an agreement where the local population was ordered to keep the insurgents out of the city.The Fallujah Brigade, composed of local Iraqis under the command of a former Ba'athist officer named Muhammed Latif, took control of the city. Insurgent strength and control began to grow to such an extent that by 24 September 2004, a senior U.S. official told ABC News that catching Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, said to be in Fallujah, was now "the highest priority," and estimated his troops at 5,000 men, mostly non-Iraqis. However, the stated purpose of the military operation in Fallujah was to weaken the insurgency in preparation for the planned Iraqi elections in January 2005. programs used: Reshade 4.9.1 NVIDIA Freestyle NVIDIA Shadowplay (Records up to 60 FPS) Sony Vegas pro 17 (Rendered in 60 FPS) Adobe Photoshop CC (For the thumbnail) Reshade 4.9.1 Music Used: Battlefield 3 - Sharp Yet Battlefield 3 - Post Apocalypse Battlefield 3 - MMT Far cry blood dragon - Warzone Hotline Miami - Videodrome Additional mods that were shown in the video: Tell (Insurgency Map): https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2457603717 MW2 Remastered chands: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2212619204 Modern US Army: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2222086123 Battlefield 3 PLR NPCs: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1718873852&searchtext=battlefield+3+plr Escape from tarkov weapons: https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=2152034421 (I will share my full collection with the launch of tactical intervention 2) Footsteps are from BF3 Viewbob, grenade replacement, Gunfire feedback are all private addons, out of respect for the mod authors.
