Thunder run

As a demonstration of death or glory bravado, the incursion by 30 Abrams tanks was saluted by those who recognised that it could have ended in disaster. One American newspaper reported that soldiers in the tanks called their mission Operation Thunder Run.

A thunder run is a term in white-water rafting for shooting the most treacherous rapids. The term also crops up as a monumental, final bar crawl before leaving a posting, said to originate in the Korean war.
