    By Martin Edwin Andersen September 12, 2007 It was at the beginning of Operation Desert Storm, and Saddam Hussein’s forces were still able to rain Scud terror down on the streets of Tel Aviv, Israel, and the U.S. military barracks in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia. The Commander of the 76th Fighter Squadron, Victor E. “Gene” Renuart Jr., today head of the North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD), and the U.S. Northern Command, was sent at the head of a formation of 12 U.S. Air Force A-10 Thunderbold IIs into far western Iraq on a “Scud hunt.” The pack of Warthogs, as the A-10s are commonly known, didn’t find any of the missiles (whose military value lay in the ease with which they moved on transporter-erector- launcher vehicles, or TELs) that day, but “we were able to find and attack and destroy Scud-related equipment—refueling trucks, transporter launchers,” Renuart (REN'-yoo- ahrt) recalled in an interview. “Certainly they were out there for a purpose [and we had to move] pretty effectively before they could continue firing into Israel or Saudi Arabia.” General Chuck Horner, the commander of the 9th Air Force who also led U.S. Central Command Air Forces (the totality of U.S. and allied air assets used during Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm) colored the room purple the next day in telling his staff how the Warthogs, led by Renuart, had saved their collective “behinds.” (In fact, not only did the 174 Warthogs pressed into service by the U.S. Central Command during Desert Storm hunt for Scuds; they also knocked out nearly half of the 1,700 Iraqi tanks that were destroyed from the air, as well as hundreds of self-propelled artillery guns and armored personnel carriers; proved invaluable in search and rescue operations, and demolished Saddam’s bridges and roads.) Renuart remembered that while during his long career he has flown “a lot of memorable combat missions,” the combat over Iraq that day was “not only a good mission that had purpose, but also, clearly was recognized by our leadership that the A-10s were making a big contribution.” Knowledgeable observers have noted that the efficient, cheap, durable and safe if ungainly looking air-to-ground fighter that GIs called “the friend of the grunt” had been in the gun sights of a phalanx of brass, enamored with other more sophisticated and vastly more expensive aircraft, though these were less useful in the War on Terror. The mission he flew, Renuart recalled, “really allowed us to demonstrate what the A-10 could do for the effort, not just in close air support, but in a variety of other missions as well.” The story is more than a three-beer tale, the kind veterans justifiably proud of their service use to relive past valor and to regale comrades. Renuart’s friends and admirers say that his ability to synthesize and draw attention to what is really important in the Sturm und Drang of battle, in war or in the bureaucracy, are hallmarks of his 36 years of military service. His focus on “jointness” and what that means for those fighting on the ground, or on water, as well as in the air also shows, in the words of one naval analyst familiar with the A-10 debate, “an ability to view the bigger picture—looking out for the interests of the armed forces, not just those of his specific service.” ...
