The initial operation implemented a no-fly zone that was proposed during the Libyan Civil War to prevent government forces loyal to Muammar Gaddafi from carrying out air attacks on Anti-Gaddafi forces. On 19 March 2011, several countries prepared to take immediate military action at a summit in Paris. Operations commenced on the same day with a strike by French fighter jets, then U.S. and UK forces conducting strikes from ships and submarines via 110 Tomahawk cruise missiles and air assets bombing Gaddafi forces near Benghazi. The goal of coalition forces has been to impose a no-fly zone and to destroy forces that threaten civilians – in effect this has meant forces loyal to Gaddafi. The U.S. initially had strategic command of the military intervention, coordinated missions between coalition members and set up Joint Task Force Odyssey Dawn on the for the tactical command and control in the area of operations.〔〔 but passed complete military command of the operation to NATO and took up a support role on 31 March 2011. Prior to that, an agreement to pass command of the arms embargo to NATO was reached on 23 March, and a handover of enforcement of the no-fly zone to NATO was agreed to on 24 March and became effective the following day.〔(NATO No-Fly Zone over Libya Operation Unified Protector ) Fact Sheet, North Atlantic Treaty Organization〕 With the handover of coalition command to NATO, Operation Odyssey Dawn became the name for only the activities of U.S. forces,〔(Operation Odyssey Dawn ) GlobalSecurity.org〕 and the coalition's objectives continued to be carried out under Operation Unified Protector. However, NATO's objectives do not include aiding the rebel forces' efforts to take control of territory currently held by Gaddafi. The British name for its military support of Resolution 1973 is Operation Ellamy,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Coalition operations in Libya to continue )〕 the Canadian participation is Operation Mobile,〔(Operation MOBILE: National Defence and the Canadian Forces Response to the Situation in Libya ) ''National Defence and the Canadian Forces'', Canadian Department of National Defense〕 and the French participation is Opération Harmattan.〔(Libye : point de situation de l'opération Harmattan n°1 ) (23 March 2011) ''Opérations'', Ministère de la Défense et des anciens combattants. (French) (English translation )〕 NATO's military activity is Operation Unified Protector.〔 ==Command== The strategic command of Operation Odyssey Dawn was under the authority of General Carter Ham, the Combatant Commander of the United States Africa Command (AFRICOM), a Unified Combatant Command of the Department of Defense. Tactical command in the theater of operations was under command of Admiral Sam Locklear, the Commander of United States Naval Forces Africa on board the command ship USS ''Mount Whitney'' in the Mediterranean Sea. Vice Admiral Harry B. Harris, Commander, U.S. Sixth Fleet, assumed responsibilities as the Joint Forces Maritime Component Commander, also stationed aboard USS ''Mount Whitney''. Major General Margaret H. Woodward was commander of US Air Force aircraft involved in the operation. On 21 March 2011, President Obama stated the U.S. military action would be scaled back soon and was considering handing over command of the operation to either France, the UK or NATO. On 24 March 2011, NATO took command of enforcing the no-fly zone in Libya and was considering taking control of the rest of the mission. On 24 March 2011, the coalition agreed to have NATO command the no-fly zone,〔Mary Beth Sheridan and Greg Jaffe (24 March 2011) (Coalition agrees to put NATO in charge of no-fly zone in Libya ) Washington Post〕 and the U.S. Department of Defense stated that the U.S. would relinquish command of Operation Odyssey Dawn as early as 28 March.〔Garamone, Jim (24 March 2011) (Coalition Continues to Defend Libyan Civilians ) News American Forces Press Service, U.S. Department of Defense〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Operation Odyssey Dawn」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
