Please note that there are color variations due to different settings on different PCs and different Monitors. The color shown on your screen may not be the true color. Operation Telic (Op TELIC) was the codename under which all of the United Kingdom’s military operations in Iraq were conducted between the start of the Invasion of Iraq on 19 March 2003 and the withdrawal of the last remaining British forces on 22 May 2011. The bulk of the mission ended on 30 April 2009 but around 150 troops, mainly from the Royal Navy, remained in Iraq until 22 May 2011 as part of the Iraqi Training and Advisory Mission.[3][4] 46,000 troops were deployed at the onset of the invasion and the total cost of war stood at £9.24 billion in 2010. Operation Telic was one of the largest deployments of British forces since World War II. It was only approached in size by the 1991 Operation Granby deployment for the Gulf War and the 1956 Operation Musketeer Suez Crisisdeployment. It was considerably larger than the 1982 Operation Corporate in the Falklands War, which saw around 30,000 personnel deployed and the Korean War, which saw fewer than 20,000 personnel deployed. Some 9,500 of the British servicemen and women who deployed on Operation Telic for the invasion and its aftermath were reservists, from the Territorial Army and from the Royal Auxiliary Air Force Regiment. Notice that additional British forces were deploying to the region (large numbers of RAF personnel were already deployed in Kuwait, Turkey and elsewhere in the region on Operations Northern Watch and Southern Watch) was given in three separate Commons statements by Geoff Hoon Secretary of State for Defence. On 7 January, the deployment of naval forces and Royal Marines was announced. 20 January saw the land forces deployment announced and 6 February the air forces. They were ready in time for hostilities to start on 19 March. When compared with the deployment of forces prior to the Gulf War things proceeded a great deal faster, with the slowest deploying elements taking 10 weeks to get from base to combat readiness in the theatre. The deployment used 64 British and foreign flagged merchant vessels. Telic means a purposeful or defined action (from Greek τέλος, telos). Unlike the United States who called their equivalent military deployment Operation Iraqi Freedom, the Ministry of Defence uses a computer to generate its names so that they carry no overtly political connotations. The meaning was initially unknown but as initial planning took place over the Christmas 2002 period, the term became jokingly known amongst personnel as a backronym for Tell Everyone Leave Is Cancelled. The conflict saw over 100 fixed-wing aircraft and over 100 rotary-wing aircraft of virtually every type in the British inventory deployed. It also saw a 33 ship fleet, which was the largest taskforce deployed by the UK since the Falklands War. Some 120 Challenger 2 main battle tanks, 150 Warrior infantry fighting vehicles, 32 AS-90 self-propelled 155 mm howitzers and 36 105 mm towed howitzers were deployed with the land forces, with reconnaissance vehicles and everything else that makes a modern mechanised and armoured force function. During the post invasion phase, and following a number of British casualties blamed on inadequate equipment, a great deal of new equipment was purchased to help deal with the threats posed by insurgents. These included 166 armoured Pinzgauer Vectors PPV, 108 Mastiff PPV, 145 enhanced FV430 MkIII “Bulldogs”, Desert Hawk UAV and 4 additional Britten-Norman Defender observation aircraft. The last Tornado GR4s and VC10 tanker aircraft returned to the UK from the Middle East Jun 17, 2009, marking the end of 18 years of combat operations for the RAF in the Gulf. The Tornados from XIII Squadron arrived home yesterday, Wednesday 3 June 2009, at RAF Marham in Norfolk while the VC10s from 101 Squadron, who provided air-to-air refuelling for the Tornados all the way back from the Middle East, came home to RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire. Missions flown by Tornado GR4 crews flying in the Middle East include close air support, reconnaissance, airborne forward air control and strike co-ordination armed response. A typical mission over Iraq lasted eight hours, and involved loitering on station for up to six hours, interspersed with air-to-air refuelling provided by 101 Squadron VC10s. When troops were fighting insurgents Tornado crews were often called in to assist, dropping munitions if the situation warranted it. The process involved working in close co-operation with Army ground forward air controllers, watching ahead of convoys for stopped vehicles and/or individuals acting suspiciously. During sorties flown for Op TELIC, GR4 crews offered the full spectrum of their skills in direct support to coalition ground forces. These included conducting low level shows of force or employing weapons to assist ground forces if necessary. The Tornado’s mixture of speed and precision made it ideally suited to come swiftly to the aid of troops that found themselves under attack. The Tornado Force is already prepared to assume responsibility for the delivery of air power in Afghanistan when it replaces the Harrier Force in the summer. While the return of the Tornados from the Middle East marks the end of combat operations for the RAF over Iraq there are still some support and logistic elements remaining in the area of operations while the British draw down of forces and equipment continues. RAF Marham in Norfolk is home to the frontline squadrons of the RAF’s Tornado Force, ready for operations across the globe. Tornados from RAF Marham have been involved in operations in the Middle East for over 25 years and are currently supporting the fight against Daesh in the skies over Iraq and Syria. The Station is also home to a range of engineering support functions from maintenance to frontline support. Over 3600 Service Personnel, civil servants and contractors work at RAF Marham. Extensive infrastructure changes are underway across the base in preparation for the arrival of the F-35 Lightning in 2018. The F-35 Lightning is a 5th Generation, multi-role, stealth fighter. The Tornado GR4 was completely retired from service on 1 April 2019, leaving the Lightning as the sole type based at RAF Marham. Royal Air Force Marham, or more simply RAF Marham (IATA: KNF, ICAO: EGYM), is a Royal Air Force station and military airbase near the village of Marham in the English county of Norfolk, East Anglia. It is home to No. 138 Expeditionary Air Wing (138 EAW) and, as such, is one of the RAF’s “Main Operating Bases” (MOB). Since 6 June 2018, it has been home to the fifth generation Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning operated by No. 617 (The Dambusters) Squadron. No. 207 Squadron became the second Lightning squadron to be based at RAF Marham when it reformed on 1 August 2019 as the F-35 Operational Conversion Unit. First designed in 1989 by Arthur Mackie an ex Royal Air Force pilot of Forfar, Angus. The original intention was a design for the Royal Air Force but was adopted by the Women’s Auxillary Air Force Association as part of their uniform in 1990 when the tartan name was Air Force. Members of the WAAF’s Association have worn this distinctive uniform at the annual Remembrance Day Parade at the Cenotaph in London with great pride. In 2002 Arthur was contacted by the Air Ministry to enquire if the tartan could be adopted as the “Royal Air Force tartan” to equip the Royal Air Force pipe bands which was initially displayed for the first time at the Edinburgh Military tattoo in Edinburgh in 2003. The particular colours can be interpreted in many ways, light and dark blues reflect the changing moods of the sky, white stripes for the clouds and a red stripe in recognition of all those who gave their lives while serving in the RAF. See www.kamrafa.co.uk, Royal Air Force tartan and www.mactartan.co.uk Home of the Royal Air Force Tartan. Design registered with the Patent Office expires 2014.
