buildings in order to pressure Slobodan Milosevic to withdraw his Serbian forces from Kosovo. The Chinese embassy was not one of the locations that NATO intended on bombing. Regardless, according to Source B, the attacks “...killed three Chinese journalist and rendered the embassy building unusable…” and “...more than 20 injured.” as stated in Source C. The NATO strike against the Chinese embassy in the Kosovo campaign between March 1999 and June 1999 were of importance because they demonstrated…

Kosovo. Regardless of this, they continue to say that although they believe war was unavoidable, it does not mean that more could have been done to help prevent such a situation from occurring. Loretz, et al (1999) suggested that attempts to implement UN sanctions on Kosovo and Milošević’s government, along with the influence of the media may have encouraged further negotiations, with less civilian casualties and displacement. With regards to the Kosovo conflict, it is accepted that humanitarian…
as AEZ over Libya. The AEZ enabled the flow of humanitarian supplies into the country and assisted in containing the violence in the same manner as previously discussed with containment. The threat of a humanitarian crisis, similar to the one in Kosovo, drove the need for an air campaign. This campaign selected specific strategic targets, just as in the previous examples listed, in order to support the UN Security Council resolution and the anti-Gaddafi forces on the ground. The air campaign…

Charter does not say anything about humanitarian intervention, Article 2(4) of the Charter does prohibit “the threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of any state…” (Cited handout) Some feel that this prohibits any type of humanitarian intervention, wherein one state…
The Gulf War and, to a lesser degree, the Kosovo air campaign demonstrated that advanced technologies have brought very significant changes to how war is waged. Intelligence sensors, precision navigation data and communications gave commanders unprecedented situational awareness. This situational awareness, coupled with precision-guided weapons, proved devastating. The major significance of these advanced technologies is not that they incrementally increase the capabilities of existing forces…
(P) that I was deploying with the 86th CSH OSS, in March 2017. I then notified the office of my PCS move in May 2017, which RHCA (P) was not tracking. Early this week, I received another notification of my possible deployment with the 14th CSH to Kosovo in Oct 2016. I have been on a 60 days task and I will not return until July 1, 2016. If I am deploying October 2016, it does not leave me room to get situated before jumping out for the deployment. Additionally, I am to come back from the…
