UNSC(United Nations Security Council, not the Halo UNSC) Has imposed a no-fly zone and has authorized the protection of civilians by all means necessary. Though the US headed the Coalition in the first phase Canadian Lieutenant-General Charles Bouchard has taken command of the Coalition under the NATO banner.

The Rebels have now taken the city of Ajdabiya and have pushed all the way through multiple towns and now are set to siege Gaddafi's home town of Sirte. In Misurata the Rebels hold the city. But are under constant attack from Gaddafi forces. Turkey has sent a hospital ship to tend and evacuate the wounded from the city. Canadian Lieutenant-General Charles Bouchard is now in Command of the Coalition having taken over for Canadian Brig. Gen. St. Amand.

Qatar has announced they now see the National Interim Council as the legitimate government. This means that as far as Qatar's foreign policy is concerned the revolutionaries are the Government forces and Gaddafi's forces are the rebelion

The rebels are probably waiting for as many people as possible to show up before they push.

NATO has deployed the electronic warfare special ops plane 'Commando Solo' to highjack Gaddafi transmissions and broadcast different information to the public.

The first implementation of this technology to date, was employed a couple days ago where it highjacked Gaddafi Naval forces video comms to inform them that if they left port they would be destroyed.

for a video of the transmission see the most recent Libya live blog from Al Jazeera

Wait, we can actually do that now? Jeez, the every year life becomes more and more like star trek. Glad to hear that the NATO forces are really making an impact.

very similar, this one hijacks ground video as well, not sure how. The Gulf War one was used to highjack wireless only. now that i think about it though, i may have specified wireless in my last post, i'll edit that :)


Edit, indeed i did. my mind is on work(lol) fixed now

Indeed, I've just started updating the number of countries in the coalition rather than the forces contributed to preserve the room in the OP.

Alot of countries have jumped in or added to their force. I know Canada just rolled 12 CF-35s off the assembly line, and sent 6 of them straight to Libya bringing our total fighter presence to a full squadron of 12 planes(6 CF-18s and 6 CF-35s)

correction: PM Harper was saying that we will be deploying 6 CF-35s as soon as the first ones come off the assembly line and will be sent to Libya before they even come to Canadian soil. Sorry about the confusion. Apparently, none have come off the assembly line yet, and are expected to roll out next month

well if thats the case i lost my bet with my uncle on who would use the F-35 first in combat, but i got no data to back that up. but you are Canadian and would have more knowledge of that so, i trust you judgment.
