The map is inscribed by an Australian Serviceman describing its use in Operation Falconer, which was Australia's contribution to the 2003 invasion of Iraq, aimed at disarming the country. It was part of a larger US-led coalition effort, with Australia deploying around 2,000 personnel. The operation included both a deployment and preparation phase (Operation Bastille) and an offensive operations phase (Operation Falconer).
