Talk:Operation Enduring Freedom – Horn of Africa

message: Truth be told, I don't have any sources for the pirate casualties.  All I did was tally up the casualties from the other articles about pirate incidents during OEF and record them in the info-box.50.129.89.173 (talk) 22:52, 27 August 2011 (UTC)

thread_title: Dead reference

message: 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)
thread_title: Split from CJTF-HOA

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

message: 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)
thread_title: Casualties

message: There are two short articles on very minor naval operations Action of March 18 2006 and Action of June 3 2007 which could be merged into this one. Observations? ROGER TALK 06:46, 9 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Sideshows: [[Action of March 18 2006]] & [[Action of June 3 2007]]

message: Isn’t that a little silly, unless those Somali vessels were flying the Jolly Roger? Captain Jack Sparrow is not operating from Somalia as far as I know. Chwyatt 09:34, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Removed Jolly Rodger Pirate flag

message: Unless there is evidence that 21st century Somali ‘pirates’ are flying 18th century English pirate flags, I cannot see a reason to add that flag. And if those 21st century Somali ‘pirates’ are not flying a flag, why add a flag that is nothing to do with them? There is no official pirate flag. 
:Further reasons not to have the ‘pirate flag’
:The popular image of pirates, which the Jolly Roger represents, in the popular imagination, is nothing like the reality of pirates operating of the African coast in the 21st century. The only reason as some have said for having Jolly Roger is that it represents pirates. But modern piracy is a world apart from the popular myths or reality of 18th century piracy. 
:Further, two different pirate flags have appeared at different times, so there is no single common pirate flag. And no ‘official generic pirate flag’. 
:It has been said that Islamic terrorists don’t fly the flag of jihad. If that is the case, then that is a reason not to have the flag of jihad. 
:It simply isn’t encyclopaedic. Chwyatt (talk) 07:29, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Why is the pirate flag here?

message: The names for the subsections seem to be prime candidates for confusion, and in addition, the sections by themselves on this page aren't long enough to fork the articles, which most of them are just as short. Proposed merger for all of the smaller articles. ηoian ‡orever ηew ‡rontiers 02:25, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Renaming the fork articles/why there is a need for them?

message: Yesterday, Somalian pirates attacked a French warship, which resulted in a small skirmish at sea and the capture of a pirate skiff. 
I am sure someone else has heard of the engagement. I was just curious to know if there are any volunteers for the writing of the action?
I would do it myself but I am not exactly sure how to create a reference using a news article. The article can be found on Yahoo news or CNN, and probably others.--Az81964444 (talk) 20:55, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Action of October 7, 2009

message: I have removed the Eritrea flag, the combatants section of the campaign box is for and only for countries/movements involved in the fighting.
It is not for countries/movements that only supply one of the warring sides, as Eritrea has.--Az81964444 (talk) 21:02, 8 October 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Eritrea Flag

message: The involvement of the USCG in this was time limited. Rather, the USN has run the show as USN admirals are usually the Cdr of the operation. An Army general is usually the deputy.  There's no justification for the USCG navbox, otherwise every service navbox would be added.--S. Rich (talk) 12:34, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Anybody feel like adding that in? Hcobb (talk) 04:02, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  There is another training mission in Africa 

message: As far as I'm aware, only the US uses the term 'Operation Enduring Freedom – Horn of Africa'. Despite this, the article is being filled with information about counter-piracy operations being conducted by other countries, which best belong in the Piracy in Somalia and/or Operation Atalanta articles. The infobox also identifies a wide range of countries as participating in 'Operation Enduring Freedom – Horn of Africa'. I've never seen this term used in reference to Australia's counter-piracy operations (which form part of Operation Slipper), and I very much doubt that it applies to any of the other countries. Nick-D (talk) 03:22, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I've also removed what purport to be pirate and Somali casualties from this article. These appear to be from stories about casualties inflicted by several countries, and are unlikely to be an accurate total, especially given that these countries are not actually participating in 'Operation Enduring Freedom – Horn of Africa'. Nick-D (talk) 03:28, 8 March 2012 (UTC)

text: I don't have a problem with US-Somali engagements being here (which seems entirely appropriate), but rather the inclusion of other countries. Nick-D (talk) 23:07, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: There are oftentimes foreign vessels attached to JTF-150 so engagements involving those vessels would be under OEF-HOA, but engagements under operations Atlantia and Ocean Shield for instance would not be.XavierGreen (talk) 00:35, 11 March 2012 (UTC)

text: WP:OFFTOPIC. This article specifically deals with Operation Enduring Freedom – Horn of Africa (OEF-HOA), an anti-terrorism and anti-piracy initiative. The Indian Ocean piracy issue in general is dealt with on the Piracy in Somalia page. Middayexpress (talk) 16:15, 3 October 2012 (UTC)

Can you point me to a WP:RELIABLE, WP:SECONDARY source supporting the existence of "Operation Enduring Freedom - Horn of Africa?" Any DOD primary supporting source?
