See how MLRS salvos blinded Iraqi artillery, why MICLIC breaching charges punched paths through dense minefields, and how air power set the stage without finishing the job. We trace the strategy, the weapons, and the moments commanders say changed everything—while leaving key battlefield surprises for the film.
