NATO RAPID DEPLOYABLE CORPS    NATO SNAGE ZA BRZO RASPOREĐIVANJE

      NATO snage za brzo raspoređivanje (NATO Rapid Deployable Corps – Greece, NRDC-GR) su u stavri operacionalna komanda grčkog KoV-a čija je namjena učestvovanje u međunarodnim operacijama Evropske Unije i NATO pakta. Ovaj štab je trebao zamjeniti III korpus i preuzeti kontrolnu nad njegovim snagama za brze reakcije. To se ipak ne događa, pa od 2009 ove dvije komande koegzistiraju kao zajednička formacija, svaka kontrolirajući različite jedinice starog Trećeg korpusa. Od 1946. godine, korpus je smješten u Solunu, pa su tako i ove dvije komande tamo.

      The NATO Rapid Deployable Corps – Greece, abbreviated NRDC-GR, is an operational headquarters of the Hellenic Army, intended for the direction of international operations undertaken by the European Union and NATO. The HQ was originally going to replace the III Army Corps of the Hellenic Army altogether, taking control of its rapid response units, but this was changed in 2009, so that the two HQs essentially co-exist as a joint formation, each controlling different units of the old Army Corps. The Corps is based in the city of Thessaloniki since 1946.

ALLIED LAND FORCES SOUTH-EAST EUROPE   SAVEZNIČKE KOPNENE SNAGE JUGOISTOČNE EVROPE

      Saveznička kopnena komanda (LANDCOM) nekadašnjih Savezničkih kopnenih snaga za jugoistočnu Evropu (LANDSOUTEAST) stalni je štab kopnenih snaga NATO-a koje se prema potrebi mogu dodijeliti. Komandant LANDCOM-a je primarni savjetnik za kopneno ratovanje Vrhovnog komandanta savezničkih snaga u Evropi (SACEUR) i NATO Saveza. Pod vodstvom SACEUR-a, ono predstavlja jezgru štabaa odgovornog za provođenje kopnenih operacija. Zapovjedništvo i smješteno je u Şirinyer-u (Buca), İzmir u Turskoj.

      NATO već desetljećima ima sjedište u Izmiru. U početku, tamošnje tijelo bile su Savezničke kopnene snage za Jugoistočnu Evropu (LANDSOUTEAST), odgovorne Savezničkim snagama za Južnu Evropu u Napulju. Pod tom komandom, sa sjedištem u Izmiru uz pomoć podređenog naprednog komandnog mjesta u Solunu, trebala je biti većina grčke i turske vojske u slučaju rata. LANDSOUTEEAST-om je zapovijedao general-pukovnik vojske Sjedinjenih Država.

      The Allied Land Command (LANDCOM) formerly Allied Land Forces South-Eastern Europe (LANDSOUTHEAST) is the standing headquarters for NATO land forces which may be assigned as necessary. The Commander LANDCOM is the primary land warfare advisor to Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) and the Alliance. When directed by SACEUR, it provides the core of the headquarters responsible for the conduct of land operations. The command is based at Şirinyer (Buca), İzmir in Turkey.

      NATO has had a headquarters at Izmir for decades. Initially, the body there was Allied Land Forces South-Eastern Europe (LANDSOUTHEAST), responsible to Allied Forces Southern Europe at Naples. Under this command, with its headquarters in Izmir assisted by the subordinate Thessaloniki Advanced Command Post, were to be most of the Greek and Turkish armies in case of war. LANDSOUTHEAST was commanded by a United States Army lieutenant general.

EUFOR ALTHEA EUFOR ALTEA

      Vijeće Evropske Unije odlučuje 12. 06. 2004. godine (Council Joint Action 2004/570/CFSP of 12 July 2004) poduzeti vojnu akciju u Bosni i Hercegovini unutar okvira svoje „Evropske sigurnosne i obrambene politike (ESDP). Operacija nazvana ALTHEA počinje 02. 12. 2004. Slijedeći odluku Vijeća iz 12. mjeseca 2006, EUFOR je uspješno transformiran tokom 2007. Na terenu snage sada broje negdje oko 2500 ljudi, sa mogućnošću brzog ojačanja snagama EU. U Sarajevu je stacioniran multinacionalni bataljon, dok su po drugim regijama raspoređeni LOT timovi (veza i promatrački).

      U skladu sa Glavom VII Povelje UN-a, EUFOR nastavlja svoj mandat (potvrđeno i odlukom Vijeća sigurnosti 21. 11. 2007. rezolucijom 1785). Misija aktivno pomaže i ICTY-u u progonu osoba optuženih za ratne zločine. 19. 11. 2007. EU ministri donose odluku o produženju prisutnosti snaga EUFORA sve dok budu smatrali da to situacija na terenu zahtijeva.

     The Council of the European Union decided on 12 July 2004 (Council Joint Action 2004/570/CFSP of 12 July 2004) to conduct a military operation in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) in the framework of the European Security and Defence Policy (ESDP). Operation ALTHEA in Bosnia and Herzegovina (BiH) was launched on 2 December 2004. Following a Council decision in December 2006, EUFOR was successfully reconfigured during 2007. The force now numbers some 2500 troops on the ground, backed up by over-the-horizon reserves. EUFOR is able to respond rapidly should the security situation require it. A multinational manoeuvre battalion is based in Sarajevo and EUFOR also retains its presence throughout the country through the liaison and observation teams (LOTs). EUFOR continues to act in accordance with its peace enforcement mandate under Chapter VII of the UN Charter, which was renewed by the Security Council on 21 November 2007 (Security Council Resolution 1785). EUFOR actively continues to provide support to the ICTY in pursuit of persons indicted for war crimes. On 19 November 2007, EU ministers reiterated that the EU would retain a military presence in the country for as long as necessary in order to continue to contribute to the maintenance of a safe and secure environment.

      Operacija Artemis, formalno Snage EU u Demokratskoj Republici Kongo (EUFOR), bila je kratkoročna vojna misija pod vodstvom EU-a i odobrena od strane UN-a u DR Kongu tijekom sukoba u Ituri. Dana 30. 05. 2003. Vijeće sigurnosti UN-a donijelo je Rezoluciju 1484 kojom se odobrava upućivanje Privremenih multinacionalnih snaga za hitne slučajeve (IMEF) u Buniu sa zadaćom osiguranja zračne luke, zaštite interno raseljenih osoba u kampovima i civila u gradu. Vojne snage bile su iz Belgije, Brazila, Kanade, Francuske, Grčke, Južne Afrike, Švedske i Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva. Osoblje u sjedištu dolazi iz Austrije, Cipra, Mađarske, Irske, Italije, Luksemburga, Nizozemske, Portugala, Španjolske i Njemačke.

      Operacija Artemis pokrenuta je 12. 06. i u sljedeća tri tjedna dovršeno je raspoređivanje snaga. Snage su bile uspješne u stabilizaciji situacije u Buniji i jačanju prisutnosti UN-a u DR Kongu. 01. 09. 2003. odgovornost za sigurnost regije predana je misiji MONUC. Operacija Artemis bila je misija pod vodstvom EU-a s Francuskom kao "vodećom nacijom" koja je osigurala većinu osoblja (900 od 1400 vojnika) i nadopunjena doprinosima zemalja EU-a i zemalja izvan EU-a. Snage su imale podršku francuskih zrakoplova baziranih na aerodromima N'Djamena i Entebbe. Dodana je i mala grupa švedskih specijalnih snaga (SSG - Särskilda skyddsgruppen) i FJS IK, pri čemu je potonja elitna posebno obučena četa iz švedske škole padobranaca.

      Operation Artemis, formally European Union Force Democratic Republic of the Congo (EUFOR), was a short-term EU-led UN-authorised military mission to the DR Congo during the Ituri conflict. On 30 May 2003, the UN Security Council adopted the Resolution 1484 authorising the deployment of an Interim Multinational Emergency Force (IMEF) to Bunia with a task to secure the airport, protect internally displaced persons in camps and the civilians in the town. Military forces were from Belgium, Brazil, Canada, France, Greece, South Africa, Sweden and United Kingdom. Headquarters staff comes from Austria, Cyprus, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Germany.

      Operation Artemis was launched on 12 June and the IMEF completed its deployment in the following three weeks. The force was successful in stabilizing the situation in Bunia and enforcing the UN presence in the DRC. On 1 September 2003, responsibility for the security of the region was handed over to the MONUC mission. Operation Artemis was an EU-led mission with France as the "Lead nation" providing the bulk of the personnel (900 of the 1400 troops) and complemented by contributions from both EU and non-EU nations. The force was supported by French aircraft based at N’Djamena and Entebbe airfields. A small Swedish Special Forces group (SSG - Särskilda skyddsgruppen) and FJS IK, the latter being an elite specially trained company from the Swedish Parachute Ranger School was also added.

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.

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.
