Peacekeeping in Bosnia Would Put US Troops on Ground
President Clinton signaled that if a Bosnian peace holds, up to 25,000 U S troops could join NATO peacekeeping with a combat mandate. The force would be under a NATO commander, not UN, and planners expect 10 000 to 15 000 soldiers from U S Army units in Germany, with congressional approval likely due to cost and sensitivity.
