UN MISSION IN LEBANON There were three different patches in that mission: grey for HQ, black for A company and blue for B company. Norveški battaljon u misiji UN-a u Libanonu je imao tri oznake: siva za zapovjedništvo, crna za A (prvu) četu, a plava za B (drugu) četu (tu oznaku nemam u svojoj kolekciji).

     Originally, UNIFIL was created by the Security Council in 1978 to confirm Israeli withdrawal from Lebanon, restore international peace and security and assist the Lebanese Government in restoring its effective authority in the area. Following the July/August 2006 crisis, the Council enhanced the Force and decided that in addition to the original mandate, it would, among other things, monitor the cessation of hostilities; accompany and support the Lebanese armed forces as they deploy throughout the south of Lebanon; and extend its assistance to help ensure humanitarian access to civilian populations and the voluntary and safe return of displaced persons. Strength of 15,000 troops, supported by international and local civilian staff was authorized by Security Council resolution 1701 of August 11, 2006. On July 31, 2008 there was 2,334 military personnel, supported by some 333 international civilian and 627 local civilian staff.
