ARM CONTINGENT LEAVING FOR AFGHANISTAN
National.
A ceremony is being held today in the "Mihailo Apostolski" barracks for the sending of 126 Macedonian troops to Afghanistan. This is a second rotation of Macedonian peacekeepers participating in the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan, the Defence ministry said. Macedonia will send a mechanized infantry company of the military unit "Leopards".
Macedonian troops have been deployed within the British contingent in Kabul since June 2006, when the country sent 90 soldiers and senior officers of the 1st Mechanized Infantry Brigade, headquartered in Stip.
Macedonia had also deployed an infantry squad within the German contingent and a medical team within the Greek field hospital.
On 27 December 2006, Macedonian Parliament approved extension of ARM's peacekeeping missions within ISAF, Iraqi Freedom, and Altea mission in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
MD: We wish them good luck, especially because no one of us are supporting these missions, but hey you must listen to what the big guys are saying
