BiH Armed Forces officers depart for 'Resolute Support' mission in Afghanistan

FENA Press release

SARAJEVO, December 14 (FENA) - Participation in peacekeeping missions is considered by many to be the greatest success in a military career, because such operations are conducted by professional and experienced personnel who need to represent their country in the world in the best light.

The 9th rotation of the infantry unit and the 3rd rotation of the BiH Armed Forces military police unit were sent off today to the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan to join the "Resolute Support" mission.

During their peacekeeping mission, the BiH AF members will learn about different cultures and different traditions. While adapting to the new environment and climate will not be easy, soldiers are prepared for new working conditions and to successfully perform their assigned tasks.

So far, there have been no major incidents or casualties, all of them have returned home safely. The return of the 53 soldiers from Afghanistan is expected in June 2019.

The commitment of BiH to participate in peacekeeping missions around the world is also one of the means to facilitate the path towards EU and NATO integration.

“Members of the Armed Forces are working for the interest of Bosnia and Herzegovina and I believe they are the best ambassadors of this country. In the coming period, we have a plan to increase our contribution in 2019, in cooperation with the UN, NATO and EU-led missions,” said Chief of Joint Staff of the BiH AF Senad Mašović.

Since its inception, the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina have been successfully engaged in peacekeeping operations in Iraq, Afghanistan, Congo, Mali, and since last year, in the Central African Republic.
