Operation Bastille (January 2003 – March 2003) was an operation conducted within Operation Slipper. Bastille was the condename for the operation to deploy force elements and prepare for possible combat operations in Iraq. The preparation supported the United Nations' disarmament efforts by contributing to the pressure on Iraq to comply with its international obligations to end its program of weapons of mass destruction.
