'''Operation ''Strike of the Sword''''' or '''Operation ''Khanjar''''' is an ongoing US-led offensive in [[Helmand]] province in southern [[Afghanistan]]. About 4,000 [[U.S. Marines|Marines]] from the [[2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade]] as well as 650 [[Afghan National Army|Afghan troops]] are involved, supported by [[International Security Assistance Force|NATO]] planes. The operation began when units moved into the Helmand river valley in the early hours of July 2, 2009. This operation is the largest Marine Corps-led operation since the [[Vietnam War]].<ref>http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/8129789.stm</ref>


in den Vereinigten Staaten:
Marines were dropped by helicopters around one a.m. local time behind the Taliban lines, striking them from the rear. The first shots of the operation were fired around 06:16 a.m. when a Marine unit received small-arms fire. [[AH-1 Cobra|Cobra attack helicopters]] were called in and made strafing runs at the tree line from where the fire was coming from. Also, during the day the Marines made contact with a group of about 20 militants holed up in a mud-brick compound. The advancing troops refrained from using attack aircraft to bomb the compound fearing there could be civilians inside and the militants managed to escape. By the end of the first day a Marine battalion had captured the [[Khanashin District]] of the province. The troops entered the [[Khanashin|capital of the district]] in a convoy of 70 heavily armoured vehicles, encountering no resistance.<ref>http://bigpondnews.com/articles/World/2009/07/03/US_troops_capture_Afghanistan_district_348552.html</ref><ref>http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/07/02/AR2009070200832_2.html?hpid=artslot&sid=ST2009070103271</ref> Another Marine battalion entered [[Nawa]], another district south of [[Lashkar Gah]].<ref>http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/gallery/2009/07/01/GA2009070103245.html?sid=ST2009070103271</ref>
