What significant intelligence operation was aimed at securing control of Enemy Prisoners of War?

The correct answer focuses on Operation Urgent Fury, which specifically aimed at securing control of Enemy Prisoners of War (EPW) during the U.S. intervention in Grenada in October 1983. This operation was initiated in response to the political instability within Grenada and the threat it posed to U.S. citizens and interests in the region. One of the key strategic objectives was to ensure the safety and controlled handling of EPWs, reflecting the need to manage prisoners in accordance with wartime rules and regulations.

In contrast, the other operations mentioned have different contexts and mission focuses. Operation Just Cause primarily dealt with the removal of Manuel Noriega in Panama. Operation Enduring Freedom encompassed a broader range of actions against terrorism, particularly in Afghanistan post-9/11. Meanwhile, Operation Allied Force was a NATO-led campaign focused on the conflict in the Balkans and did not have a central aim related specifically to managing EPWs. Each of these operations had distinct objectives that did not prioritize the control and management of prisoners in the way that Operation Urgent Fury did.
