Held the following MOSs: 1811 - Tank Crewman (M48A3 & M60A1) 0151 - Administration (Additional MOS) 0251 - Interrogator Translator (Arabic-Egyptian; Persian-Farsi; Norwegian languages) 0231 - Intelligence Analyst (Additional MOS) My primary MOS no longer exists in the Regular Marine Corps. About 2002 the Interrogator Translator MOS (0251) was discontinued (except as a Reserve MOS) and all remaining Interrogator Translators on active duty were absorbed into the Counterintelligence (0211) MOS. Good things in life - Retirement, the Vietnam Era GI Bill, and self-sufficiency. Love fly fishing - built my own split-bamboo rod; tie my own flies.
In Memory of Gunnery Sergeant Ronald E. Baum, United States Marine Corps Killed in action in Al Anbar Province, Iraq on May 3, 2004, during an ambush when his vehicle was hit by a rocket propelled grenade. Gunnery Sergeant Baum was an Interrogator Translator who was redesignated a Counterintelligence Marine. Thank you Gunny for your sacrifice. You are and will be missed.
Description Operation Deny Flight was a North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) operation that began on 12 April 1993 as the enforcement of a United Nations (UN) no-fly zone over Bosnia and Herzegovina. The United Nations and NATO later expanded the mission of the operation to include providing close air support for UN troops in Bosnia and carrying out coercive air strikes against targets in Bosnia. Twelve NATO members contributed forces to the operation and, by its end on 20 December 1995, NATO pilots had flown 100,420 sorties.
The operation played an important role in shaping both the Bosnian War and NATO. The operation included the first combat engagement in NATO's history, a 28 February 1994 air battle over Banja Luka, and in April 1994, NATO aircraft first bombed ground targets in an operation near Goražde. These engagements helped show that NATO had adapted to the post-Cold War era and could operate in environments other than a major force on force engagement on the plains of Central Europe. Cooperation between the UN and NATO during the operation also helped pave the way for future joint operations. Although it helped establish UN-NATO relations, Deny Flight led to conflict between the two organizations. Most notably, significant tension arose between the two after UN peacekeepers were taken as hostages in response to NATO bombing.
The operations of Deny Flight spanned more than two years of the Bosnian War and played an important role in the course of that conflict. The no-fly zone operations of Deny Flight proved successful in preventing significant use of air power by any side in the conflict. Additionally, the air strikes flown during Deny Flight led to Operation Deliberate Force, a massive NATO bombing campaign in Bosnia that played a key role in ending the war.
