Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) is the official name used by the U.S. government for its military response to the September 11, 2001 Attacks on the United States . It was originally called '''Operation Infinite Justice,''' but this phrase had previously been restricted to the description of God (among followers of several faiths), and it is believed to have been changed to avoid offense to Muslim s.1Islamic clerics objected on the grounds that infinite justice can only be dispensed by God. On October 5 , 2006 , NATO officially took over control of U.S. forces in Afghanistan. 2

The Operation comprises several subordinate operations:
# Operation Enduring Freedom - Afghanistan (OEF-A)
# Operation Enduring Freedom - Philippines (OEF-P) (formerly Operation Freedom Eagle)
# Operation Enduring Freedom - Horn Of Africa (OEF-HOA)
