Correction to This Article
An article about the nomination of Peter J. Schoomaker as Army chief of staff incorrectly reported the code name of a 1980 Iran rescue mission and the reason it was scrubbed. The mission was called Operation Eagle Claw. It was ended before a collision between a helicopter and tanker plane, when other events left the number of available helicopters below a required minimum.
