in operations and how that role contributes to victory. In particular, this paper will explore the Battle of Baghdad that occurred during the Second Iraq War in 2003. Because of
the unique theater of operations for this battle, the United States Armed Forces relied heavily upon engineering actions in order to maximize the strategic advantage and claim a more decisive
victory. The operations of engineers in the context of this operation will be analyzed through references to the United States Army Field Manual 3-0 for Operational Protocol and the Field
Manual 3-34 for Engineering Operations. The content of these sources is of course consistently reviewed by the military itself and thusly can be assumed to be authoritative. The Battle
of Baghdad occurred in April 2011, just over a month into the wider scale Operation Iraqi Freedom that instigated the Second Iraq War. The goal of the operation was to
capture Saddam Hussein and Baath Party officials, thereby undermining their political hold in the country and advancing the aims of the war. To these ends, the battle pitted the United
States Army, Marine Corp., and Air Force, as well as the British Royal Air Force against the Iraqi Army, the interior Republican Guard, the Special Republican Guard, and Saddams elite
bodyguard regiment, the Fedayeen Saddam. The Coalition Forces numbered roughly 30,000, while the Iraqi soldiers numbered roughly 45,000. The campaign took place amidst a dense urban environment, in a desert
climate of sweltering heat and freezing nights. Despite the numerical superiority of the Iraqi forces, the Coalition Forces held the advantage in virtually every way. For instance, the Iraqi
