History of the SOMALIA 1992-1995 Battle Streamer
In the early 1990s, Somalia was gripped by civil war and famine, leading to a humanitarian crisis. In December 1992, the United States, under the leadership of President George H.W. Bush, initiated Operation Restore Hope, deploying U.S. forces to help stabilize the country and deliver vital humanitarian aid. The mission expanded to include a peacekeeping role, with U.S. troops working alongside the United Nations and humanitarian organizations to provide relief and ensure the safety of Somali civilians.
The operation saw intense fighting, including the Battle of Mogadishu in October 1993, which tragically resulted in the deaths of 18 U.S. soldiers. Despite challenges, the mission ultimately restored some degree of stability and humanitarian aid access, leading to the eventual withdrawal of U.S. forces in 1995.
