Operation Virgo (4 March - 10 March 1943) was a Commando operation intended to target a combined force of Imperials, Archadians, Quenminese, and Guadonian formation brewing near the town of Tuvona. It is one of the formations created following the destruction of key Imperial positions near the Concordian-Archadian border following Operation Chromite. Although the Allies suffered less casualties due to combined guerilla tactics, the Imperials suffered heavy casualties, making it one of the bloodiest commando operations that took place during the Sixth Zacaya War.

The Allied success bought a further dashed hopes of a landbourne invasion of Concordia through the border. Following the operation, Concordian General Donald MacArthur suggested invading Archadia through the border. But capacity to invade Archadia's landmass wasn't feasible, given that other participants in Amerigonna were preoccupied in other theatres. Hence, the choice for Ilari to continue waging a psychological, naval, and guerilla campaign continued until the end of the war.
