![]() ![]() His intelligence was supported by use of overhead imagery and unmanned aerial vehicles that showed the training activities of the insurgents using live ammunitions and also the layout of their offensive and attack strategies. He knew that the insurgents had fully prepared for the battle from the North therefore exposing their other points of vulnerability. This distraction combat technique was commanded by the LTG Nantonski. The rest of the battalions attacked the city of Fallujah from the West and North where they captured and secured the villages along the River Euphrates and also the Jurf Kas Sukr Bridge. ![]() The other troops surrounded the city with the assistance of the Black Watch Battalion. One of the battalion troops, Regimental Combat Teams (RCT) 1 had settled in the North of the city of Fallujah and this gave the enemy combatants and jihadist fighters an impression that the coalition forces were planning an imminent attack from the South. LTG Natonski used a combat diversion tactic that distracted the insurgents from a coordinated attack. Natonski had also learnt new combat tactics that he could use in war to conquer and out do the techniques employed by the insurgents (Ross n.d) iii. This fact made him learn their strengths and weaknesses and how to take advantage of the enemies’ weaknesses. These deployments into the Middle East gave him a clear interpretation of the combat tactics employed by Arab insurgents. He was the commander of the 2 nd Marine Expedition Brigade in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and fought in the Battle of Nasiriyah in 2003. He served as a commander of the Marine Expedition Unit in Kuwait. He was appointed as an observer in the United Nations Truce Supervision Organization in the Middle East. LTG Richard Natonski had served in the military since 1973. Analysis of lieutenant General Natonski’s performance in the winning of The Second War of Fallujah The decisive tactical decisions made by LTG Natonski ensured that the insurgents were permanently eliminated and the city was recaptured and maintained by the coalition forces.Ī significant correlation exists between effective and efficient war strategies and positive outcomes which include winning a war as evidenced by the techniques employed General Natonski in the war of Fallujah. The decisions made during the first war of Fallujah made the city even more vulnerable to insurgents and within a short period, insurgents had secured the city again. (Karon n.d) ii.The combat tactics used in the first war were successful but they did not ensure the control of the city. The war ended but the civilians of Iraq were not successful in keeping the insurgents away.īy September, the number of insurgents had grown to five thousand and the city was once put under militia control. The state of Iraq wanted the city of Fallujah to be controlled by the citizens of Iraq. The first battle of Fallujah had been waged in April, 2004 to eliminate the insurgent elements that had killed the Black Water Security team and also reclaim Fallujah from the control of enemy combatants. His techniques in war enable him to gather intelligence information of what the enemies were planning to do including the nature of their preparations. His expertise and knowledge provided the techniques necessary for the winning of the bloody second war of Fallujah. LTG Richard Natonski was a retired veteran who specialized in war tactics especially those used in the Middle East by Arab militia and insurgents. The unified army realized success in the battle field due to the wise and skilled leadership of Richard Natonski who was head of the United States Marine Corps. This war’s aim was to put an end to the control of the city of Fallujah by enemy insurgents and also to capture the leader of insurgents, Abu Musab Al- Zarqawi (Ross n.d) i. The battle of Fallujah was fought solely against insurgents and militia rather than the forces of Sadam’s regime. ![]()

![]() Eventually, the market collapses and his fund's value increases by 489% with an overall profit (even allowing for the massive premiums) of over $2.69 billion, with Fields alone receiving $489 million. Under pressure, he eventually restricts withdrawals, angering investors, and Fields sues Burry. This sparks his main client, Lawrence Fields, to accuse him of "wasting" capital while many clients demand that he reverse and sell, but Burry refuses. His long-term bet, exceeding $1 billion, is accepted by major investment and commercial banks but requires paying substantial monthly premiums. Anticipating the market's collapse in the second quarter of 2007, as interest rates would rise from adjustable-rate mortgages, he proposes to create a credit default swap market, allowing him to bet against, or short, market-based mortgage-backed securities, for profit. In 2005, eccentric hedge fund manager Michael Burry discovers that the United States housing market, based on high-risk subprime loans, is extremely unstable. The film consists of three separate but concurrent stories, loosely connected by their actions in the years leading up to the 2007 housing market crash. The film won the Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay in addition to nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor (Bale), and Best Film Editing. A critical and commercial success, the film grossed $133 million on a $50 million budget and received acclaim for the performances of the cast (particularly that of Bale), McKay's direction, editing, and the screenplay. The Big Short began a limited release in the United States on December 11, 2015, followed by a wide release on December 23 by Paramount Pictures. Several of the film's characters directly address the audience, most frequently Gosling's, who serves as the narrator. Among others, it features cameo appearances by actress Margot Robbie, chef Anthony Bourdain, singer-songwriter Selena Gomez, and economist Richard Thaler, who break the fourth wall to explain concepts such as subprime mortgages and synthetic collateralized debt obligations. The film is noted for the unconventional techniques it employs to explain financial instruments. ![]() The film stars Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling and Brad Pitt, with John Magaro, Finn Wittrock, Hamish Linklater, Rafe Spall, Jeremy Strong, and Marisa Tomei in supporting roles. ![]() Co-written by Charles Randolph, it is based on the 2010 book The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine by Michael Lewis showing how the 2007–2008 financial crisis was triggered by the United States housing bubble. ![]() The Big Short is a 2015 American biographical crime comedy-drama film directed and co-written by Adam McKay. ![]() ![]() ![]()
