The invasion consisted of 21 days of major combat operations, in which a combined force of troops from the United States, the United KingdomAustralia and Poland invaded Iraq and deposed the Ba'athist government of Saddam Hussein. The invasion phase consisted primarily of a conventionally fought war which concluded with the capture of the Iraqi capital of Baghdad by American forces.
