Operation Swarmer was a joint U.S-Iraqi air assault offensive targeting insurgents in Salahuddin province, near the central city of Samarra, Iraq.

Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari stated that insurgents were "trying to create another

Zum Einsatz kamen auch Bodentruppen, deren Zahl mit 1500 beziffert wurde, darunter auch ca. 600–700 Soldaten der irakischen Regierungstruppen. (de)
