ZAGREB, July 22 (Hina) - The United States First Infantry Division
will during August replace the first U.S. Armoured Division which
is acting as part of the NATO-led Stabilisation Force (SFOR) in
Bosnia.
The equipment and soldiers will arrive from Fort Hood, Texas, to
Croatian port Rijeka, SFOR's Information Centre in Zagreb said in a
statement on Wednesday.
As host, Croatia will cooperate with the SFOR in this operation, the
statement said.
SFOR soldiers will be present to coordinate transport in Rijeka,
but the operation will not cause any traffic problems for the Rijeka
residents, it added.
Most equipment will be transported by rail to Tuzla, north-eastern
Bosnia, while only a small portion will be transported by road.
Late in August, the First Infantry Division's helicopters will also
reach Rijeka, where they will be put together and then be directed
to an airport on Krk, an island in Croatia's northern Adriatic.
After technical check-ups, the helicopters will fly to Tuzla.
