The Kosovo Force (KFOR) is a NATO-led international peacekeeping force which was responsible for establishing a secure environment in Kosovo[a]. KFOR entered Kosovo on 12 June 1999, two days after the adoption of UN Security Council Resolution 1244. At the time, Kosovo was facing a grave humanitarian crisis, with military forces from the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia (FRY) and the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA) in daily engagement. Serb forces had committed ethnic cleansing of Kosovo Albanians and the death toll had reached a historic high. Nearly one million people had fled Kosovo as refugees.[2] KFOR has gradually transferred responsibilities to Kosovo Police and other local authorities. As of December 26, 2013, KFOR consists of 4000 troops. For the first time in a decade, active-duty soldiers will deploy to the small Balkan nation of Kosovo as the American contribution to the long-running NATO peacekeeping mission. The 525th Battlefield Surveillance Brigade out of Fort Bragg, N.C., will fly to Europe in April for training in Hohenfels before deploying to Kosovo, according to a U.S. Army Forces Command spokesman. It will be joined by smaller National Guard, reserve and other active-duty units to fill out capabilities, according to the official. The return of active-duty U.S. troops follows a decade of deployments by National Guard and reserve soldiers in place of units needed in Iraq and Afghanistan. With the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq and the drawdown currently taking place in Afghanistan, more active-duty soldiers have become available for the Kosovo mission, according to the spokesman. A unit with the 1st Infantry Division made the last active-duty deployment, between November 2002 and July 2003, according to U.S. Army Europe. Camp Bondsteel is the main base of the United States Army under KFOR command in Kosovo. Located near Ferizaj in the eastern part of Kosovo, the base serves as the NATO headquarters for KFOR's Multinational Battle Group East (MNBG-E). The base is named after Vietnam War Medal of Honor recipient United States Army Staff Sergeant James L. Bondsteel. Camp Bondsteel was constructed by the 94th Engineer Construction Battalion, 568 Combat Support Engineer Company together with the private Kellogg, Brown and Root Corporation (KBR) under the direction of the Army Corps of Engineers. KBR is also the prime contractor for the operation of the camp. The camp is built mainly of wooden, semi permanent SEA (South East Asia) huts and is surrounded by a 2.5 m (8.2 ft) high earthen wall. The camp occupies 955 acres (3.86 km2) of land. To construct the base, two hills were flattened and the valley between them was filled. In August 1999, 52 helipads were constructed on the facility's south perimeter to handle helicopter aviation. Other items in other pictures are for your reference only, available in my eBay Store.
