Soldiers of the 2nd Battalion, 162nd Infantry Regiment, 41st Infantry Brigade Combat Team, Oregon National Guard, await the landing of helicopter. The Solders are at Fort Bliss, Texas training with First Army for their deployment to Kosovo as part of the Kosovo Force mission (KFOR). KFOR was established by NATO in June of 1999, following the end of the 78-day air campaign. The 78-day air campaign, commonly referred to as “Operation Noble Anvil,” led to an agreement reached of Yugoslav armed forces pulling out of Kosovo. KFOR was put in place as a peace keeping mission that deters any idea of renewed hostility or threats against Kosovo by Yugoslav and Serb forces, creates a secure environment and ensures public safety, demilitarized the Kosovo Liberation Army, supports the international humanitarian effort, and coordinate with the international civil presence.
