Continuing importance of conventional warfare

Continuing importance of conventional warfare.

Conventional warfare still played a role in 21st-century wars such as the Second Gulf War (March 20, 2003 - May 1, 2003), which was an invasion of Iraq by the US, backed by Britain, in 2003. The coalition victory (of US, UK, Australia etc.) was significant as it was due to the deployment of conventional forces and traditional tactics of the second half of the twentieth century. The coalition used air attacks to soften up the Iraqi resitance and support the invasion of land forces.
