Posted January 27, 2022 WARNORD Fun Op 28JAN22 Operation: Eagle Eye 1. SITUATION Years into the breakup of Yugoslavia, mass killings have flared again in the aftermath of a fragile peace. Tensions are boiling over in Kosovo, with Serbs and Kosovar Albanians forces massacring civilians at an shocking rate. In the wake of this bloodshed, the United Nations has ratified UN Security Council resolution 1203, and called the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) and NATO to conduct further verification missions within Kosovo. In addition to US and other NATO forces, Russian Army peacekeepers also maintain bases in the area. Yugoslavian Army and Serbian Army forces maintain a single joint base, which they are dismantling and vacating. There are several insurgent groups operating locally, most notably the Kosovo Liberation Army, and a growing network of Serb militia. The ceasefire has largely been ineffective, and firefights between Yugoslavian/Serbian forces and Kosovar Albanians militants occur with increasing frequency. However, it is the civilian populations who are bearing the brunt of the most recent violence. Deployed as part of the US contingent to the Kosovo Verification Mission, ODA 169 has gone native in order to closely monitor the Yugoslavian Army withdrawal from Kosovo. 2. MISSION Monitor compliance with UN ceasefire agreement during the withdrawal of Serbian and Yugoslavian armed forces. Safeguard civilians and support local law enforcement.
