What was the operation name for the Grenada invasion?

The operation name for the Grenada invasion is Urgent Fury. In military planning, code names identify missions and often hint at the operation’s character. Urgent Fury was the designation used for the 1983 U.S.-led invasion of Grenada, meant to restore order after a coup and to protect American citizens and regional stability. Other well-known names correspond to different conflicts—Just Cause was Panama in 1989, Desert Shield was the Gulf War buildup, Enduring Freedom refers to the Afghanistan campaign beginning in 2001—so they don’t apply to Grenada.
