Which U.S. military operation was aimed at capturing Osama bin Laden in 2011?

The U.S. military operation specifically aimed at capturing Osama bin Laden in 2011 was Operation Neptune Spear. This operation was a covert mission carried out by Navy SEAL Team Six, officially known as DEVGRU. It took place on May 2, 2011, in Abbottabad, Pakistan, and resulted in the death of bin Laden, who was the mastermind behind the September 11 attacks and a long-time target of U.S. counterterrorism efforts.

Operation Enduring Freedom, while it encompassed military operations in Afghanistan from 2001 onwards, was broader in scope and included various missions against the Taliban and al-Qaeda. Similarly, Operation Desert Storm was focused on the liberation of Kuwait during the Gulf War in 1991, and Operation Iraqi Freedom dealt with the invasion of Iraq that began in 2003. Therefore, neither of those operations was specifically tailored to the objective of capturing bin Laden. Operation Neptune Spear stands out as a targeted mission with the singular goal of apprehending him.
