Operation Joint Guard (Bosnia and Herzegovina)
From Month/Year
December / 1996
To Month/Year
June / 1998

Description
On 20 December 1996, NATO transitioned its operation in support of the Dayton Peace Accords in Bosnia and Herzegovina from implementation to stabilization. As a result, Operation Joint Endeavor ended and Operation Joint Guard began. NATO's Implementation Force (IFOR) was similarly replaced by a Stabilization Force (SFOR). The US Task Force Eagle, comprised at that time of 20,000 soldiers led by elements of the 1st Infantry Division, continued to be the US component of the NATO mission. On 20 June 1998, the decision was made to scale down the size of SFOR and NATO transitioned from Operation Joint Guard to Operation Joint Forge.

Personal Memories

Memories
In September 1997, I deployed to Bosnia-Herzegovina where I was the commander of a Joint Forces Navy and Marine Corps mobile reconnaissance team. Duties included downloading real time video from a P-3 and providing the video directly to the NATO ground commanders during riots and demonstrations.
