July / 1958
To Month/Year
October / 1958

Description
The 1958 Lebanon crisis was a Lebanese political crisis caused by political and religious tensions in the country that included a U.S. military intervention. The intervention lasted around three months until President Camille Chamoun, who had requested the assistance, completed his term as president of Lebanon. American and Lebanese government forces successfully occupied the port and international airport of Beirut. With the crisis over, the United States withdrew.

Show of force to preclude aggressions in Lebanon. 377th Abn Field Artillery (HJ), 11th Abn Div Arty as part of TF 201 was sent to Lebanon from Germany. Upon arrival, they returned to Germany because a nuclear delivery capability was not required.
