The <entity_0>, code-named Operation Vigilant Resolve, was an operation against militants in <entity_4> as well as an attempt to apprehend or kill the perpetrators of the killing of four U.S. contractors in March 2004. The <entity_5> polarized public opinion within <entity_6>. The intended Marine Corps strategy of foot patrols, less aggressive raids, humanitarian aid, and close cooperation with local leaders was suspended on orders to mount a <entity_1> to clear guerrillas from <entity_4>. On 3 <entity_2>, the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force received a written command from the Joint Task Force, ordering offensive operations against <entity_4>. On the night of <entity_2>, American forces launched a major assault in an attempt to "re-establish security in <entity_4>" by encircling it with around 2000 troops. The siege forced the closing of <entity_4>'s two main hospitals, <entity_4> General Hospital and the Jordanian Hospital, which were re-opened during the ceasefire on 9 <entity_2>. On 15 <entity_2>, an American F-16 Fighting Falcon dropped a 2,000-pound (910 kg) JDAM GPS guided bomb over the northern district of <entity_4>. In response, on 28 <entity_2>, the aircraft carrier George Washington launched squadrons VFA-136, VFA-131, VFA-11, and VFA-143 to fly combat air sorties against insurgents in <entity_4>. On <entity_3>, the United States withdrew from <entity_4>, as Lieutenant General James Conway announced that he had unilaterally decided to turn over any remaining operations to the newly formed <entity_4> Brigade - a Sunni security force formed by the CIA, which would be armed with U.S. weapons and equipment under the command of former Ba'athist Army General Jasim Mohammed Saleh. The <entity_5> also pushed Abu Musab al-Zarqawi into the public spotlight as the best-known commander of anti-Coalition forces in <entity_6>, and brought public attention to the concept of a Sunni Triangle. 27 U.S. servicemen were killed during the <entity_5> in <entity_4>.
