How many from IFOR?

I was there 1997 to 1998 (SFOR) and assigned to the Office of the High Representative. There were a number of crashes during that time. One involved the German Ambassador to OHR and several of my friends when their helicopter clipped a mountain top. The crew survived, but everyone in the passenger compartment died. The mountain valleys were treacherous and the general rule of thumb for low visibility flying was to double the minimum flight level. Our pilots were great! One UH60 got me to Brcko from Sarajevo in record time.

I was part of the SFOR group and can remember how missed up things were even at that point and this was 2 years later. Altogether it wasn't a bad deployment... Most driving and Guard Duty over the good old Blue Factory (Guardian Base).

Camp Demi 1996/1997...last three months of the IFOR mission.

I was there in 96 right after it turned to SFOR.

After seeing it first hand I knew we would be there a while.

December '95 - November '96 at Brcko.

I landed in Tuzla Airbase, later Eagle Base, in a C130, 11 December 1995 with the ADC-M BG Cherrie, HHC 1AD (FWD) TACRAT Security Element we set up the TAC outside of the Headquarters Building "White House" untill the rest of the Division crossed the Sava River in January. I remember a cold winter with frigid nights, snow,and ankle deep mud. We had to set up the Z.O.S. to "Keep em Separated" and it slowly becoming "Groundhog Day" I remember Secretary Brown, He was at the morning briefing with MG Nash and BG Cherrie and I was on duty when we recived word of his plane not landing, and later when his death was confirmed. Sad day for all. I remained at Eagle Base as "Palace Security" thru September 1996. we did a good thing.

I went in Dec 96 IFOR and stayed through SFOR till Apr 97. Cp. Bedrock. 62nd eng bn US Army

I was with 17th Sig. We set up on Dec 24th in a field just outside zupanja Croatia. The transition base camp would later be built in an adjoining field.

Initially served with United Nations Transporting Relief Convoys to Sarajevo, Bosnia 92-93 while stationed in Germany. Deployed with the 720th MP Battalion in support of IFOR April 1996 with the 64th MP CO. Assigned to Camp Alisha,(Renamed Dobol under SFOR), Linda, PAT, and then finally to Camp Demi 4 months prior to change over to SFOR. Remained in Bosnia for 12 months. When they said all the IFOR troops and the 1st Armored Division had been redeployed, they forgot to mention that they left the CONUS Military Police and 82nd ABN DIV MPS to Hold in place for the 1st Infantry to take over as SFOR.

I went to SFOR in 97
