| Opplysninger | Planning for war -- Planning the invasion until D-Day -- Build-up to D-Day -- Planning while fighting, March 2003 -- April in Iraq -- Off-ramps and Phase IV -- Building the coalition, May 2003 -- A bad feeling -- My last month in theater, June 2003 -- Final thoughts.. - Given the length of time the United States spent in Iraq, there is a perception that there was no consideration before the war of what should be done after coalition forces arrived in Baghdad and removed Saddam Hussein. However as this unofficial history reveals, there was a great deal of planning to address how to achieve the policy objectives for Iraq set by the Bush administration. Kevin Benson--director of plans for the United States Third Army, the ground forces command headquarters for GEN Franks' Central Command, at the start of the war--details the development of the invasion plan and its subsequent execution from D-Day in March 2003 until the change of command of operations in Iraq and the departure of Third Army in June 2003.
