Tom Loomis MNTF-E Deputy Commander of Maneuver This month, I have the pleasure of addressing you in the Guardian East since Brig. Gen. Jones is on leave during the month of September, and I am glad to have the opportunity to write a few lines about my impressions. First, I want to say how impressed I am by the performance of MNTF-E since February. Together, we have accomplished much toward the security of the area, and most importantly, contributed substantially to the future development of the people of Kosovo. From the daily missions across the breadth of the MNTF-E area of operations, to the many development projects you have undertaken, you all should be proud of your accomplishments so far. In the middle of September I was able to travel back to the U.S. to support the training of the MNTF-E headquarters and the subordinate elements which will be replacing the current U.S. contingent of MNTF-E later this year. I was impressed with the skills they are demonstrating early in their post-mobilization training. It is evident that the work many of the current MNTF-E Guardian East.

  • Sample Chapter
    chapter one Introduction n march 24, 1999, NATO went to war for the first time Oin its fifty-year history. Its target was not a country, but a man. As the Serb leader of Yugoslavia, Slobodan Milosevic had been most responsible for a decade of violence that accompanied the breakup of Yugo- slavia. Well over a hundred thousand people had been killed and millions displaced in Croatian and Bosnian wars during the first part of the 1990s. Now a similar humanitarian catastrophe threatened in Kosovo, part of Serbia, the heart of the former Yugoslavia. Milosevic’s security forces were arrayed against the Kosovo Liberation Army (KLA), a small insurgent force, and the ethnic Albanians who dominated the area’s population. In the previous year of fighting, nearly two thousand people had been killed and many hundreds of thousands were driven from their homes. A full-scale war in Kosovo be- tween Serbs and Albanians would likely have been particularly brutal, leav- ing untold death and destruction in its wake. Compounding the likely humanitarian disaster was the potential for large numbers of refugees en- gulfing the fragile border countries of Macedonia and Albania, with conse- quences for stability and security across the entire region. So NATO went to war. For a decade, the alliance had wavered in its re- solve to confront Milosevic. At times, the Serb leader had proven a willing partner in negotiating a halt to the region’s violence. More often, he had been the source of that violence. For more than a year, the United States and its principal European allies had tried to head off a military confrontation by seeking to engage the man most responsible for the carnage that had befallen Kosovo, an approach similar to that followed in Croatia and Bosnia earlier in the decade.
