Operation Dawn 8 Operation Dawn 8 was an Iranian military operation conducted during the Iran – Iraq War , part of the First Battle of Al - Faw . The Iranian operation is considered to be one of Iran ' s greatest achievements in the Iran – Iraq War . The Iranians were able to capture the Fao Peninsula , cutting off Iraqi access to the Persian Gulf in the process ; this in turn hardened Iraqi attitudes to prosecute the war . The Fao Peninsula was later recaptured by Iraqi forces near the end of the war by the massive and illegal use of chemical weapons . For the main article on the battle , see the First Battle of Al - Faw . Iranian offensive . On 9 February 1986 , the Iranians launched the operation , in which 100 , 000 troops comprising 5 Army divisions and 50 , 000 men from the Pasdaran and the Basij advanced in a two - pronged offensive into southern Iraq . Unlike the earlier offensives , Dawn 8 was planned entirely by professional Army officers , all of whom had began their careers under the Shah . The Iranians launched a feint attack against Basra , which was stopped by the Iraqis . Meanwhile , the main Iranian blow fell on the strategically important Fao peninsula , which fell after only 24 hours of fighting . The Iranians launched their assault on the peninsula at night , their men arriving on rubber boats . After taking the Fao , the Iranians built a pontoon bridge and began to dig in . Iraqi counter - offensive . On 12 February 1986 , the Iraqis began a counter - offensive to re - take the Fao , which failed after a week of intense fighting . Saddam sent one of his best commanders , General Maher Abd al - Rashid and the Republican Guard to begin an new offensive to re - capture the Fao on 24 February 1986 . A new round of intensive fighting took place , centered on a three - pronged counterattack , with the Iraqis losing 10 , 000 men and the Iranians 30 , 000 over the next four days . The Iraqi offensives were supported by helicopter gunships , hundreds of tanks and a huge bombing offensive by the Iraqi Air Force . Despite having an advantage in firepower and the extensive use of chemical warfare , the Iraqi attempt to re - take the Fao again ended in failure . Aftermath . The fall of the Fao and the failure of the Iraqi counter - offensives were huge blows to the prestige of the Ba ' ath regime , and led to fears all over the Gulf that Iran might win the war . In particular , Kuwait felt menaced with Iranian troops only ten miles away , and increased its support of Iraq accordingly . During the Second Battle of Al Faw in April 1988 the Iraqi re - captured the peninsula .

Fort Arbuckle ( Oklahoma ) Not to be confused with Old Fort Arbuckle , a site in Tulsa County , Oklahoma . Fort Arbuckle was created in 1850 to stop raids by Plains Indian tribes on immigrant trains headed west to California and on settlements of Choctaws and Chickasaws in Indian Territory . Captain Randolph B . Marcy was assigned the mission of selecting the site and constructing the fort , which would be named to honor the recently deceased General Matthew Arbuckle . The site was inside the boundary of the Chickasaw Nation and on the bank of the Washita River , west and north of the present town of Davis , Oklahoma . The overall size of the post was originally by , allowing enough room for friendly tribes to camp under the protection of the post . Marcy and his men constructed a rectangular fort , with barracks on opposite sides and the quartermaster and commissary facilities at opposite ends . Eventually the fort consisted of thirty buildings constructed of hewn logs and stone chimneys . Major William H . Emory of the First Cavalry was appointed commander of both Fort Washita and Fort Arbuckle in 1858 . He found the facilities at the fort inadequate . Many of the buildings were in a poor state of repair ; ordinance stores were depleted ; and surplus ammunition and gunpowder had to be buried in order to be weather protected . But even before the troops could remedy these faults , they received orders to build another fort , this one named Fort Cobb . On May 3 , 1861 , after the Civil War broke out , Major Emory ordered the three forts under his command to be evacuated , with the troops going to Fort Leavenworth . The government of the Chickasaw Nation had already decided to support the Confederacy . Although it was briefly occupied by Confederate troops , no battle occurred in the vicinity , Fort Arbuckle played no part in the war . After the war , the post was regarrisoned by troops from the Sixth Infantry and Tenth Cavalry . General Philip Sheridan planned to use Fort Arbuckle as a supply depot for his campaigns against the Comanches in 1868 . By the following spring , a great store of hay and grain had been brought by water to Fort Gibson and then by wagon to Fort Arbuckle . Sheridan sent many of his horses to the fort to be fed . Four companies of the Tenth Cavalry came to Fort Arbuckle for this purpose . Fort Arbuckle was strategically obsolete by 1869 , when Fort Sill was constructed farther west . Most of the Arbuckle garrison were sent there , after their horses had consumed the remaining supplies . The post was permanently abandoned in 1870 . A single stone chimney from one of the only relic remaining of the old fort .
Finnish war children During World War II some 70 , 000 Finnish children ( ) were evacuated from Finland , chiefly to Sweden , but also to Norway and Denmark . Most were evacuated during the Continuation War to ease the situation for their parents who set out to rebuild their homes in the re - conquered Karelia returning from the evacuation of Finnish Karelia . The first surge of evacuees arrived , however , during the Winter War when the Finns had reasons to fear a humanitarian catastrophe following the expected Soviet occupation . Effects . In retrospect , the evacuation has been considered psychologically flawed , as the separations turned out to inflict a far greater damage on the evacuees than the damage suffered by those children who had remained with their parents in Finland . In comparison to Finland ' s approximately 23 , 000 military casualties in the Winter War , the 66 , 000 in the Continuation war , and the total of 2 , 000 civilian casualties – and the roughly equally many seriously wounded – the war children were , of course , not physically injured , let alone killed . However , their number is of about the same size as that of the war invalids , and many of them feel their sufferings to be ignored . Fate . After the war , Finland experienced times of economic hardship , and also substantial insecurity with regard to the Soviet Union ' s plans for Finland , which resulted in the delay of the return of the children for several years . Ultimately , about 20 % of the war children stayed with their foster families after the war , who often adopted them , which spared them another traumatic separation . Many more returned to Sweden as adults , when the prolonged post - war hardship in Finland pushed large contingents of unemployed Finns to Sweden ' s booming economy in the 1950s – 60s . 2005 Finnish Movie . Mother of Mine ( Finnish : Äideistä parhain , Swedish : Den bästa av mödrar ) is a 2005 Finnish - Swedish film directed by Klaus Härö about a Finnish war child who is sent by his mother to live in Sweden during World War II . The film is based on a novel by Heikki Hietamies . It received good reviews from the Finnish press , and was selected to be Finland ' s submission for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the 78th Academy Awards .
