This case (1834.0 and associated epilogue 1834.1 and abridged case 1834.3) tells the story of Major General David Petraeus and the US Army's 101st Airborne Division in the months following the March 2003 invasion of Iraq, the fall of Baghdad, and collapse of Saddam Hussein's government. With just a few days notice, and having completed their combat mission, the 101st is ordered to Mosul, Iraq's third biggest city and the capital of Nineveh province.
The case details the development and implementation of the 101st strategy to bring equilibrium to Mosul and the surrounding region and provides insight into his approach and General David Petraeus to direction. The case is not about military operations while set in a military organization in wartime. Petraeus and his office, with preparation or little notice, undertake civilian jobs related to governing and reconstruction. HKS Case Amount 1834.3
