[edit] Split from CJTF-HOA

Just as it would make little sense to have "OEF" and "CENTCOM" on one page, I have split the mission (OEF-HOA) away from the command (CJTF-HOA). While they can be linked articles, I believe that the pages should be distinct. It was becoming problematic when I was reading such wrongful statements as "Operation Enduring Freedom - Horn of Africa (CJTF-HOA) is a unit of United States Central Command." OEF-HOA is not a unit. CJTF-HOA is a unit. --Petercorless 08:53, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

OEF-HOA is not a "battle." It is an ongoing military operation. --Petercorless 07:02, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Heh. Already replied on your talk page. ;-) Kirill Lokshin 07:07, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Casualties

The only confirmed casualties that the US military admits to inflicting are the 8-10 killed in the AC-130 gunship in January 2007. There was a second gunship attack, which might also have a casualty figure associated with it. Others tried to inflate OEF-HOA casualties by conflating casualties caused in the Second Battle of Mogadishu and the Rise of the Islamic Courts Union (2006), or elsewise as part of the War in Somalia (2006–present). However, those other actions were not officially conducted as part of OEF-HOA, and those casualty figures should not be double-reported or conflated with the actions which were strictly a limited pair of AC-130 strikes by the U.S. --Petercorless 07:35, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
