 IRAQ VS. IRAQ
World Premiere:
Thursday, January 12, 8-9 PM
Commemorating the 15-year anniversary of the
start of the Gulf War
In commemoration
of the 15th anniversary of the start
of the Gulf War, Military Channel presents
IRAQ VS. IRAQ – a side-by-side comparison of
Operation Desert Storm in 1991 and Operation
Iraqi Freedom in 2003. The program illustrates
that although the setting was the same, these
are two radically different wars. Iraqi Freedom
was a war fought with a much smaller force than
Desert Storm, yet it made up for fewer troops
with much smarter weapons and advanced
technology. The troops in 2003 faced a new
enemy and the uneasy task of rebuilding a nation
in the midst of an ongoing insurgency.
Operation Desert Storm and Operation Iraqi
Freedom were two wars, years and worlds
apart - yet they show how the United States is
transforming the way it goes to war.
 CREATING THE X-CRAFT
World
Premiere: Friday, January 20, 8-9 PM
In 2005 the
U.S. Navy launched an advanced warship called
the
X-Craft. The 262-foot aluminum catamaran,
powered by a suite of diesel, gas turbine and
water jet engines, is capable of an
unheard-of 50-plus knots of speed and represents
the first of a new class of state-of-art ships
that begins a transformation of our modern
Navy. Viewers will get an exclusive look into
the creation of the U.S. Navy's newest, fastest,
most radical warship, the X-Craft, as well as
first-ever access to the Naval Surface Warfare
Center where the X-Craft was modeled and tested.
