What was the mission title of the operation where Marines rescued American medical students in Grenada?

The operation in which Marines rescued American medical students in Grenada was called Operation Urgent Fury. This military intervention took place in October 1983 and was primarily aimed at restoring order to Grenada after a coup and to protect American citizens on the island, particularly students attending a medical school. The mission highlighted the U.S. commitment to its citizens and its strategic interests in the Caribbean, while also serving to deter the influence of communism in the region during the Cold War.

The operation was marked by significant military engagement and the eventual success of the U.S. forces in securing the area and rescuing the students. The use of the name "Urgent Fury" reflects the urgency and dynamic nature of the mission, which was executed in response to rapidly evolving political circumstances in Grenada. This distinguishes it clearly from the other operations listed, which were focused on different conflicts and contexts, such as Operation Desert Shield (the buildup of U.S. forces in the Gulf prior to Desert Storm), Operation Just Cause (the U.S. invasion of Panama), and Operation Enduring Freedom (the campaign in Afghanistan following the September 11 attacks).
