The Battle of Ramadi was fought during the Iraq War from March 2006 to November 2006. Since the fall of Fallujah in 2004, Ramadi had been the center of the insurgency in Iraq. Coalition strategy relied on establishing a number of patrol bases called Combat Operation Posts throughout the city. Colonel Sean MacFarland decided to take it slowly and softly, without using heavy close air support. Tanks were used to safeguard soldiers against IEDs and were key in targeting bunkered insurgents and snipers. By mid-November at least 75 American soldiers and Marines were killed along with an unknown number of Iraqi soldiers and police.
