The name of the military operation in Libya, "The dawn of the Odyssey '(English' Odyssey Dawn '), is the result of a random system that has the Pentagon to give name to its operations and, in this case is meaningless. This is a spokeswoman for the command Armed Forces African Americans in Stuttgart (Germany).
added that "the people's reaction to the name often wonder what to do with Libya. They try to apply the model of Operation 'Iraqi Freedom' and try to find meaning in the name when in this case none .
was verified that no translation could have offensive connotations
When the Africa Command began planning the operation needed a name that had no relationship with Libya, the source said from its headquarters in the capital of the German state of Baden-Württemberg.
to give names to their operations, the Army Africa Command U.S. has allocated three sets of double letters JS-JZ, NS to NZ and OP-OA with a series of predetermined words.
recently had used the first two groups so we opted for the latter and between words beginning with O possible that the word was chosen Odyssey (Odyssey).
then sought a word from the group of numbers starting with D, which was sound and had no relation to the above, and we chose to dawn (dawn).
The commander reviewed the database to ensure that the name had not been used before and then consulted with institutions in various parts of the world, usually with U.S. embassies, to verify that a translation may have connotations
