All glory is fleeting. -- General George S. Patton, Jr |
Guardian Assistance, Zaire, Rwanda, Uganda, 15 Nov 1996 27-Dec 1996(75 total words in this text)(2464 Reads)  To assist in the large humanitarian effort in Africa, Navy P-3C aircraft, which were forward-deployed to the Mediterranean, detached to Entebbe, Uganda. The crew and aircraft provided critical overland surveillance data to the joint task force commander. This information on the mass movement of refugees from Rwanda to Zaire assisted national-level policy-makers in responding to changing needs. The timely distribution and evaluation of this data prevented the unnecessary deployment of a multinational force. |
