Teodoro Guillermo Waldner (1927 – 2014)[1] was an Argentine General that served as the Chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Armed Forces of the Argentine Republic. He also served as the Chief of the General Staff of the Argentine Air Force

According to the Argentine newspaper El Diario, during the Falklands War, Waldner led a mission to Libya and brought back weapons and missiles from Gaddafi's regime.[2] After the war, in 1983 Waldner became the first head of the Air Force since the return of democracy to Argentina and was styled as a chief of staff as opposed to a commander-in-chief.[3] In 1985, Waldner was appointed as Chief of Joint Staff of the Armed Forces, a position he held until his retirement in 1989.[4]
