Operation Restore (Portuguese: Operaçao Restaurar) was a military operation that the Angolan Armed Forces (FAA) conducted against the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA) and its militant wing, the Armed Forces for the Liberation of Angola (FALA). FAA carried out Operation Restore in late 1999 during the Angolan Civil War.^[1]^[2]^[3]

The FAA captured Andulo and Bailundo. By December, Chief of Staff General João de Matos said the FAA had destroyed 80% of FALA's manpower and captured 15,000 tons of military equipment.^[1]
