Naval War College Review
Abstract
Over the past two and one-half years U.S European Command (USEUCOM) has engaged in diverse contingency operations throughout its area of contiguous combatants commands. These wide-ranging military endeavors included evacuating more than 2,400 non-combatants from a barbarous civil war in Liberia; conducting devastating air strikes flown from Turkey against Iraq during the Gulf war; swiftly deploying Patriot missile units from Germany to defend Israeli civilians against Iraqi Scud missiles; rendering humanitarian aid aid to half a million displaced Kurds and then securing northern Iraq for their safe return home; transporting French and Belgian forces to Zaire and evacuating civilians in response to a widespread Zarian army in the northern Iraq for UN relief operations. All these operations required close coordination with friends and allies, often in a coalition context, to ensue success.
