XI A WAR OF ATTRITION

On 23 May, with the UAE forces back ashore in Aden, the decision was made in Abu Dhabi to finally shelve the amphibious operation due to a lack of support from the US and the broader Coalition. Instead, the clandestine force in Aden would become the main effort and would be reinforced by Colonel Ali A. from the current 36 troops to nearly 80 UAE personnel on the ground. Troops from Al-Forsan and select Land Forces units would build out the base in Little Aden until it was strong enough to support the successful liberation of Aden airport, which would cut off the coastal line of supply used by the Houthi forces in Greater Aden. Thus began the deadliest phase of the war in Aden, a month-long slugfest during which the UAE and the Houthis competed to ‘win the firefight’, bringing heavier and heavier firepower to bear.
