MV-22 Iraq — the Osprey’s first combat deployments in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

The MV-22B Osprey tiltrotor made its combat debut during Operation Iraqi Freedom, marking a revolutionary moment in Marine aviation history. The Osprey combined the vertical takeoff and landing capability of a helicopter with the speed and range of a fixed-wing aircraft, fundamentally changing how Marines conducted assault transport. MV-22 crews in Iraq transported troops and supplies at speeds and ranges far exceeding the CH-46 Sea Knight they replaced. The Osprey proved its combat capability in the demanding Iraqi environment, validating decades of development.
