What would be the Japanese equivalent of the word **operation** , in the sense
of a project or task?

Some examples would be:

  * Operation Infiltrate-the-Castle
  * Operation Human Shield (from South Park)
  * Operation _random cool name_

In English this usage obviously comes from a military background, but what is
the corresponding Japanese term? **And more importantly, would you use this in
the same tongue-in-cheek manner as in English, to glorify some task or project
and make it sound exciting?**

question
translation slang
Japanese word for Operation, in the sense of a project or task - slang
It is easiest to give a familiar example

> Operation Desert Shield｜砂漠の盾作戦

ie place the name of the operation in front of 作戦 （さくせん）

I think you could get away with using katakana words for foreign activties.
