Operation Warrior's Rage was a United States and Iraqi Army cordon-and-search operation during the US occupation of Iraq. The operation was performed on the evening of 15 July 2005.
On the evening of 15 July 2005, elements of the 256th Brigade Combat Team and 6th Iraqi Army Division successfully detained targets in their areas of operation through cordon-and-search operations and combat patrols. Soldiers of the 3rd Battalion, 156th Infantry Regiment, 256th Brigade Combat Team, and the 4th Battalion, 1st Iraqi Army, searched houses suspected of holding insurgents in the Ameriyah district of Baghdad. The mission resulted in the capture of three suspects, two of whom were Syrian. The search found 10 to 12 122/130-millimeter rounds enhanced with propane to make a larger fireball in the explosion.
In another area of operation, soldiers of the 2nd Battalion, 156th Infantry Regiment, captured three personnel, all positively identified as brigade-level targets. The 2-156th personnel knocked on doors when the targeted houses turned up empty, and residents of the neighborhood led soldiers to the suspected insurgents when they initially were not in their homes.[ citation needed ]
