Significance
Operation Red Dawn resulted in the capture of Saddam Hussein, the deposed president of Iraq, by U.S. military forces in the town of Ad-Dawr on 13 December 2003. Hussein's capture removed the most prominent symbol of the former Ba'athist government and marked a significant milestone in the U.S.-led occupation, eliminating the possibility of his return to power and the rallying potential his fugitive status had provided to remnants of the former regime.
