In this episode, I break down Operation Absolute Resolve using only credible public reporting and disciplined analysis. We walk through the timeline, the joint force “stack,” and the roles played by U.S. agencies and services—from intelligence preparation and space-enabled support to air dominance, SOF execution, and sea-based extraction. Just as importantly, we separate confirmed facts from speculation and explain why certain details remain undisclosed.Who did what: CIA, DoD, USCYBERCOM, SOF, Navy/Marine sea-basing, and Space Force (what they did—and didn’t—do)Air corridor concept, ISR, SATCOM, GPS/PNT assuranceWhy specific bases, cyber effects, and casualty figures are often not publicly namedOSINT pitfalls and how to read early graphics responsiblyKey takeaway: Space Force’s role was enabling—not offensive—ensuring ISR access, assured communications, and navigation/timing throughout the operation. Any cyber effects, if they occurred, fall under U.S. Cyber Command.
