Operation Southern Watch — JTF-SWA Unisex Ultra Cotton Tee
From 1992 to 2003, coalition forces enforced the no-fly zone over southern Iraq in one of the longest sustained air operations in U.S. military history. Operation Southern Watch — executed under Joint Task Force Southwest Asia — kept the skies clear and the mission alive through thousands of sorties flown from bases across the Gulf. This tee carries that history on its back.
Built on Gildan's Ultra Cotton platform, this medium-weight unisex tee is cut for everyday wear with a slightly roomier fit that layers easily and holds its shape through repeat washes. The tubular knit body eliminates side seams for a cleaner silhouette, while the ribbed collar and shoulder tape keep structure intact. A tear-away label means nothing scratching your neck when you're moving.
Available in six colorways — Navy, Black, White, Tan, Military Green, and Cherry Red — each printed with the bold back-graphic that marks this operation's place in the record.
