MULTINATIONAL CORPS NORTH EAST  MULTINACIONALNI KOPUS SJEVERO-ISTOK

      1997. ministri obrane Danske, Njemačke i Poljske odlučili su osnovati dansko-njemačko-poljski korpus. Ovaj je korpus trebao dobiti naziv Multinacionalni korpus Sjeveroistok (Multinational Corps Northeast, MNC NE). Multinacionalni korpus Sjeveroistok formiran je 18. rujna 1999. u Szczecinu u Poljskoj, koji je postao njegovo sjedište. Razvio se iz dugogodišnjeg jedinog multinacionalnog korpusa u NATO-u, savezničkih kopnenih snaga Schleswig-Holstein i Jutland (LANDJUT). Trinacionalna radna skupina osnovana je nakon odluke iz srpnja 1997. da Poljska treba biti primljena u NATO. Multinacionalni korpus Sjeveroistok ima ključnu funkciju u integraciji novih država članica NATO-a.

      In July 1997, Ministers of Defence of Denmark, Germany and Poland decided to establish a Danish-German-Polish Corps. This corps was to be named Multinational Corps Northeast. Multinational Corps Northeast was formed on 18 September 1999 at Szczecin, Poland, which became its headquarters. It evolved from what was for many years the only multinational corps in NATO, Allied Land Forces Schleswig-Holstein and Jutland  (LANDJUT). A tri-national working group was established following the July 1997 decision that Poland was to be admitted to NATO. Multinational Corps North East has a key function in the integration of new NATO member states.

MULTINATIONAL DIVISION  MULTINACIONALNA DIVIZIJA

      Multinacionalna divizija centar (Multinational Division Central MND (C) je bila prva prava multinacionalna divizija NATO-a, nastala da bi odgovorila izazovima Hladnog rata i činili su je pripadnici iz četiri zemlje: Belgije, Nizozemske, Njemačke i Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva. Štab im je bio u britanskoj vojnoj bazi u Njemačkoj JHQ Rheindahlen pored Mönchengladbacha. Operativni su postali 1994. godine i za punu bi mobilizaciju zemlje pripadnice osigurale po jednu padobransku ili zračno desantnu brigadu sa svim pratećim jedinicama (jedinicama borbene podrške i logistikom). Sa svojih 20.000 pripadnika bili su tada najznačajnija višenacionalna jedinica NATO-a za raspoređivanje širom svijeta. Kako se NATO sve više okretao prema drugimmsnagama za brzo djelovanje (takozvane „Visoko spremne snage“) štab i divizija su raspušteni 25. 10. 2002. godine.

      The Multinational Division Central MND (C), was a multi-national division in NATO for Central Europe and had its headquarters at the British base in JHQ Rheindahlen near Mönchengladbach. The concept for this first genuine multi-national division in NATO with its four participating nations - Belgium, Germany, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands originated during the Cold War. The airmobile MND (C) was to support Norther Army Group Central Europe (NORTHAG) as a reserve formation. The MND (C) achieved operational readiness on 1 April 1994. On the full activation of the division each nation was to make available a parachute or airmobile brigade, combat support units and supply units. MND-C, with a theoretical strength of 20,000 soldiers, was the most important of the multi-national rapid reaction forces stationed in Europe and had the capability of deploying on worldwide military intervention missions. Because NATO became increasingly focussed on other crisis reaction forces (the so-called High Readiness Forces (Land)), the headquarters of MND (C) was disbanded on 25 October 2002.

      The role of TFH was to collect arms and ammunition voluntarily turned over by ethnic Albanian insurgents, and thereby help to build confidence in the broader peace process suggested by the President of former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia. Collection sites were established within the insurgents’ operational areas. Weapons were destroyed unless they were unsafe to move. Ammunition were destroyed in the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia at a site agreed to with national authorities (Krivolak), taking into account the potential environmental impact. Ammunition unsafeto move was destroyed at the collection point. The operation commenced after the Commander in Chief Allied Forces Southern Europe (CINCSOUTH), who is responsible for NATO operations in the Balkans, assessed the military situation and received reports that TFH forces were deployed and operational.

OPERATION ALLIED FORCE   OPERACIJA SAVEZNIČKA SILA

      NATO-vo bombardiranje Savezne Republike Jugoslavije (Operation Allied Force; Operacija Saveznička sila) trajalo je od 24.03. do 01.06. 1999. godine. NATO je 24.03.1999. godine u 20 sati počeo zračne napade na vojne ciljeve u SRJ da bi se kasnije udari proširili i na gospodarske i civilne objekte. U napadima koji su bez prekida trajali 78 dana teško su oštećeni infrastruktura, gospodarski objekti, škole, zdravstvene ustanove, medijske kuće, spomenici kulture, crkve i manastiri. Ekonomski stručnjaci iz Grupe-17 procjenili su štetu na oko 30 milijardi dolara. Konačan broj žrtava službeno nije objavljen, a procjene se kreću između 1200 i 2500 poginulih i oko 5000 ranjenih. Napadi su završeni 10. 06. 1999., nakon potpisivanja vojno-tehničkog sporazuma o povlačenju jugoslavenske vojske i policije sa Kosova i Metohije. Intervencijom NATO snaga, Vojska Jugoslavije se povukla sa Kosova i Metohije, iako je ono ostalo dijelom Srbije. Međutim, 10 godina kasnije, Kosovo je proglasilo neovisnost što je i dalje predmetom raznih kontroverzi.

      The NATO bombing of Yugoslavia was the NATO's military operation against the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. The air strikes lasted from March 24, 1999 to June 10, 1999. The bombings continued until an agreement was reached that led to the withdrawal of Yugoslav armed forces from Kosovo. The Yugoslavs' narrative was that NATO's campaign was an illegal war of aggression as it did not have the UN Security Council's endorsement. The bombing killed about 1,000 members of the Yugoslav security forces in addition to between 1489 and 1528 civilians. It destroyed bridges, industrial plants, public buildings, factories, private businesses, power plants, water-processing plants. In the days after the Yugoslav army withdrew, over 164,000 Serbs and 24,000 Roma left Kosovo and many of the remaining non-Albanian civilians (as well as Albanians perceived as collaborators) were victims of abuse which included beatings, abductions, and murders. After 10 years Kosovo proclaim independance and still waitting to be fully recognize.  Less than 100 UN members recognize new state.

      Maslinove grančice i golubica su povezane sa misijom mira Međunarodnih snaga i promatrača. Obadvoje simbolizira nadu za mir u svijetu. Grančice su u obliku slova S što simbolizita sinajski poluotok.

      The olive branches and dove relate to the Multinational Force and Observers’ peaceful mission and the hope of peace throughout the world. The S-shaped configuration refers to the Sinai Peninsula as the place of service.

      Međunarodne snage i promatrači (The Multinational Force and Observers MFO) su međunarodne snage koje nadgledaju provođenje mirovnog ugovora između Egipta i  Izraela. MFO misija djeluje na Sinajskom poluotoku. 17. 09. 1978. godine Egipat i Izraela potpisuju kamp Davidski sporazum. Vijeće sigurnosti nije bilo u stanju osigurati vojne snage za provođenje nadzora, radi mogućnosti veta od strane SSSR-a, na traženje Sirije. Tada Egipat, Izrael i SAD „zaobilaze“ UN i sami, 03. 08. 1981. dogovaraju osnivanje ovih snaga. Do sada je u njima učestvovalo 13 zemalja.

      The Multinational Force and Observers (MFO) is an international peacekeeping force overseeing the terms of the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel. The MFO generally operates in and around the Sinai peninsula. On September 17, 1978, the Camp David Accords were signed by Israeli Prime Minister and Egyptian President under the sponsorship of United States President. The accords provided for a full Israeli withdrawal from Sinai. The President of the UN Security Council indicated that the UN would be unable to provide the force, due to the threat of a veto of the motion by the USSR at the request of Syria. Egypt, Israel and the US opened negotiations to set up a peacekeeping organization outside the framework of the UN. On August 3, 1981, the Protocol to the Treaty of Peace was signed, establishing the Multinational Force and Observers.
