U.S. Central Command was born in war. In 1983, the Tampa, Florida-based military command was formed amidst a low-grade maritime war with Iran – the Tanker War, part of the broader, grueling Iran-Iraq War. In the four decades since, CENTCOM has served at the knife’s edge of war in the Middle East, the Levant region, and Central Asia. The Battle of Mogadishu (“Black Hawk Down”), Operation Desert Shield / Desert Storm, Operation Southern Watch, the Global War on Terror, Operation New Dawn…CENTCOM has become the Nation’s premier warfighting headquarters.
