Oregon Army National Guard 41st Infantry Brigade Combat Team Maj. Chad Plaisted delivers donated supplies to an underserved primary school Oct. 6, 2020, in Bivolak/Bivoljak, Kosovo. Some months before the donation Plaisted, alongside fellow Kosovo Force troops, participated in a group cleanup at the school where he noticed the students’ lack of services and supplies. “I asked my wife to reach out via social media to friends and family in the U.S. to offer an opportunity to donate supplies to the school,” said Plaisted. “Many obliged and mailed nearly a dozen boxes of supplies to our U.S. camp in Kosovo. Me and other Soldiers delivered those supplies to very deserving children today.” The NATO-led KFOR mission has been one of peacekeeping and ensuring the safety and security of all Kosovo community members since 1999. Plaisted and other 41st IBCT Soldiers have been deployed in Kosovo since the beginning of 2020 as members of the U.S.-led brigade level KFOR Regional-Command East.
