      abstract = {Almost as soon as Saddam Hussein's regime collapsed in  2003, it became apparent to U.S. commanders that a second  deployment of Marines to Iraq would be necessary to conduct  security and stability operations. This monograph recounts  the first two years of this second deployment during which  Marines were responsible for Iraq's cast al-Anbar Province.  It focuses on I Marine's Expeditionary Force's deployment  in 2004 and  II Marine Expeditionary Force's deployment in  2005, and focuses on planning, counterinsurgency  operations, and efforts to build civil-military relations  with the Iraqi population. The first and second battles of  Fallujah and the battle of an-Najaf are also highlighted.},
