Operation Cobra's Anger was a US-led offensive in Helmand province in southern Afghanistan involving about 1,000 Marines and 150 Afghan troops, as well as a Danish armor attachment. The operation began in the early hours of December 4th, 2009 and ended December 12, 2009.
The goal of the operation was to disrupt Taliban supply and communications lines in the strategic Nawzad valley of Helmand province, and to reopen the strategic coalition supply lines, leading into FOB Cafferetta, a USMC/ANA outpost. The FOB was under siege by the Taliban and could only be accessed by air.
The offensive began three days after an announcement by then-president of the United States Barack Obama detailing a plan to increase the US presence in Afghanistan by another 30,000 troops.
