The U.S. Army has been at the core of KFOR since its deployment in the wake of the allied air campaign in June 1999. KFOR initially provided a deterrent to renewed hostility and threats against Kosovo by Serb and Yugoslav forces, established a secure environment and ensured public safety and order, demilitarized the Kosovo Liberation Army, supported the international humanitarian effort, and coordinated with and supported the international civil presence.
Typically, there are three categories of change: maintain/sustain the existing system/processes, incremental improvement and radical/re-design.
Kosova represents a transition from the “re-design” to the maintain/sustain category.
