ION OPERATION The United States has been a prime supporter of ' United Nations directed sanctions against Iraq since the Gulf War. The purpose of these sanctions is to make sure that Iraq does not restore her capacity to make war on her neighbors and, most j importantly is not returning to a robust program of building weapons of mass destruction. Enforcing these sanctions have become increasingly more important as other forms of UN enforcement have ceased. One of the prime methods of funding these illegal activities is smuggling oil out of Iraq, around the UN Oil for Food Program. ANTIETAM spent two months as the On Scene Commander in the Northern Arabian Gulf recently -- executing this mission. These pictures show our Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure (VBSS) Teams at work as well as Security Teams and Health and Comfort Team in action. )m m
