The XVIII Airborne Corps conducted a defensive deception operation in Saudi Arabia between Oct. 15 and Nov. 28, 1990, as part of Operation Desert Shield, according to the supplied Defense News source material.
The operation came before a larger coalition deception effort during the ground campaign of Operation Desert Storm, which began about three months later, the source says. It does not provide details about the methods used, the operation’s specific objectives or its results.
The account concerns events in 1990; it is not a report of a recent military development.
