LTG (Ret) David Heebner

LTG (Ret) Heebner spoke of his battalions preparation and mobilization during the run up of the Gulf War (1990) . The movement of thousands of personnel and their equipment from Germany to Israel was monumental. The logistics and political implications were massive.

The American government and allies had formed a 31 country coalition to blunt Saddam Hussein’s Iraq invasion of Kuwait and neighboring countries. LTG Heebner’s “Patriot Missile “ command protected Israel from SCUD missiles providing early warning signals and detonation of incoming warheads. A constant issue was keeping Israel only on a defensive posture and not going on offense which would have broken the coalition rules.

LTG (Ret) Heebner’s presentation was a lesson in our Middle East ongoing conflicts his reflection’s and insight was well received by post members and guests. A very active question and answer was informative.?????????
