Part of the Battle of the Buldge called Operation Stösser called for elements of the Fallschirmjäger para reg. to drop behind enemy lines and capture the "Baraque Michel" crossroads.

The War of Attrition was fought between Egypt and Israel from 1968 to 1970. It was initiated by Egypt as a way to recapture the Sinai from Israel, which had controlled it since the Six-Day War. The war was characterized by extensive use of Special OPs troops from both sides for LR-Recon and Direct Action missions. Active participation by Soviet pilots and material was the order of the day on the Egyptian side. This made for Spec OPs targets a plenty on the battle field.

OP: TONGA - D-DAY INVASION
|
|
|
|
|
Pegasus Bridge was the objective of the British 6th Airborne glider infantry, six of whose gliders landed noiselessly shortly after midnight on D-Day (i.e., six to seven hours before the actual seaborne landings started). Their mission was to sever a major artery between Caen and the sea, and thus prevent German reinforcements from hitting the left flank of the invasion area, all the while keeping the bridges intact for later expansion of the beachhead. The 150-odd men rapidly overwhelmed the sleeping German defenders and managed to hold off counterattacks for over 12 hours — until Lord Lovat's commandos arrived (to the tune of Bill Millin's bagpipes).

China - Soviet border clash - Increased Soviet military deployments and realignment of the military districts facing China in Central Asia added to China's perceptions of a growing Soviet military threat. The number of Soviet divisions increased to 30 in 1970 and to 44 in 1971. These forces, including two or three divisions in the Mongolian People's Republic (MPR), were supported by some 1,000 combat aircraft controlled by a coordinated air defense system that was established in the MPR sometime in 1970.
