Alon Harksberg Posted August 16, 2002 Posted August 16, 2002 Name: Alon HarksbergAge: the Big Five Oooo…Country: IsraelService: after spending a few futile months in flight school, I re-enlisted with the Para Bde in late 1971 and spent the next 7 years there. I followed the standard IDF infantry service track of trooper – SL – PL – DCC - CC. During 1973 war I was a cadet in the IDF’s officer school and fought on the Suez front. Between early 1974 and early 1978 I was a plt ldr then dep coy co then coy co. During the 1978 Litani operation I was at Para Bde Ops. I was released from active duty to the reserves just after the raid and was given the command of a res para coy. I fought with this unit during the 1982 war, on the eastern front. Later that year I temporarily rejoined active service with the IDF for two more years, serving mainly as a liaison to the various UN forces deployed around Beirut. In 1984 I was again released and quickly rejoined my old company, leading them through the next 12 years, including numerous TDY in the first Intifada. During the Gulf War I was again employed as a liaison to US forces stationed in Israel but this time as a reservist. In 1996 my original coy was dispersed due to old age… They wanted to kick me out too but I managed to linger on for 5 more years in various roles before being officially retired from the reserves last year as a LTCOL, almost 30 years to the day.Interest: my current quest is to find out why there are so many Finish guys here – are they planning something!? Tanknet: I stumbled by accident into Brunk’s old forum back in 1997 – I was searching Lycos for stuff about heavy metal music. I used to be a lot more active during the first couple of years but have since reduced myself to mere lurking. Comments: A few years ago I actually started putting together the ultimate OOB paper about the 1973 Yom Kippur War together with fellow contributor and co-author Antonio Morena (sp) and actually made some excellent progress but unfortunately we kind of lost track of each other over time. If anyone is currently in touch with Antonio, please drop me a line.
