USIS Washington File: TRANSCRIPT: NATO BRIEFING ON "OPERATION ALLIED FORCE" APRIL 15
Following the reconnaissance mission by ASELF in Albania, we have reduced the number of forces in Allied Harbour from the originally planned 8,700 to 7,300. This force will be divided into three essential task groups: the first will be responsible for shelter, forward relief reception, the support of refugees, because the basic requirement in Albania is to bring more refugees out of fairly appalling accommodation into better tented accommodation in new refugee camps; the second task force will deal with the distribution and logistics of supplies and will secure lines of communication; and the third task force will be responsible for direct support for the international humanitarian organisations, particularly storing their supplies. ...
