On April 16th 60 Minutes featured a story about Operation Casablanca, a covert operation aimed at the Columbian drug problem.  And in the recent past we have all heard about Desert Shield and Desert Storm.  Code names for operations, projects, and exercises go way back.  This month's Quest is to find out what famous event or project carried the code below.  Most are military operations.  This is a good one for the Internet.

 
1. Operation Overlord
2. Operation Oxley
3. Operation Vittles
4. Operation Urgent Fury
5. Operation Just Cause
6. Operation Smile
7. Operation Assured Response
8. Operation Dear Abby
9. Operation PUSH
10. The Anaconda Plan
11. The Christmas Campaign
12. Corps of Discovery

 
 
Let me know how you do (see puzzle page for contacts).
