Operation Just Cause - Acid Gambit & Nifty Package | 101st ABN & 505th PIR "Panthers" Coop | Arma 3

Описание: Operation Just Cause was the United States’ military intervention in Panama, launched on December 20, 1989, with the primary goal of removing General Manuel Noriega from power. Noriega, the de facto leader of Panama, had been indicted in the United States on drug trafficking charges and was increasingly viewed as a destabilizing force who threatened the security of U.S. citizens, the Panama Canal, and democratic governance in the country. The operation involved approximately 27,000 U.S. troops and combined airborne assaults, special operations raids, and mechanized infantry actions against the Panamanian Defense Forces. Within days, U.S. forces secured key objectives, including airfields, military installations, and government buildings across Panama.

The operation concluded quickly, with Noriega surrendering to U.S. authorities on January 3, 1990, after taking refuge in the Vatican diplomatic mission. While Operation Just Cause successfully achieved its stated objectives—restoring a civilian government under Guillermo Endara and safeguarding the Panama Canal—it was controversial. Critics pointed to civilian casualties, urban destruction, and questions about international law and proportionality. Supporters argued it demonstrated decisive military action in the post–Cold War era and reaffirmed U.S. influence in the Western Hemisphere. The operation remains a significant case study in rapid intervention, joint operations, and the political limits of military power.
