History of the Kosovo Campaign (1999)
In 1999, the United States Marine Corps played a critical role in the NATO-led intervention during the Kosovo War. The intervention, aimed at halting ethnic violence and stabilizing the region, followed the breakdown of peace talks and escalating tensions between ethnic Albanians and Serbs. Operation Allied Force, launched in March 1999, marked the beginning of U.S. involvement, with Marines conducting peacekeeping operations after NATO airstrikes forced the withdrawal of Serbian forces. Over the following years, Marines participated in a multinational force to maintain stability and facilitate humanitarian aid, culminating in the successful stabilization of Kosovo and the establishment of the United Nations Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK). The Kosovo Campaign Battle Streamer honors the bravery and commitment of those who served in this crucial operation, which remains a significant chapter in the history of U.S. military involvement in global peacekeeping efforts.
