The Radfan Campaign was a series of clashes that took place during the Aden Emergency from 14 October 1963–May 1964. It took place in the mountainous Radfan region near the border with the Yemen Arab Republic. Local tribesmen connected with the NLF began raiding the road connecting Aden with the town of Dhale.
In January 1964, the local army sent three battalions supported by the RAF to restore order. Trouble flared up again, and in April, British ground troops were sent in; by May, they had taken the main rebel stronghold and the revolt had been suppressed. The NLF then switched its attention to Aden itself.
The first British operation in January was known as "Nut cracker". The second one was "Cap Badge".
