On Christmas weekend, December, 1995, the 432nd Civil Affairs Battalion, U.S. Army Reserve, was mobilized for duty in the ex-Yugoslav republic of Bosnia-Hercegovina. This site is dedicated to that mobilization.

                For we wrestle not against flesh and
                blood, but against principalities,
                against powers, against the rulers
                of the darkness of the world, against
                spiritual wickedness in high places.
                                     (Ephesians 6:12)
		

       "... this mission should and will take about one year."
                                       Bill Clinton (11/27/95)
		

"... the United States will take part in a follow-on force in Bosnia."
                                               Bill Clinton (11/15/96)
		

  "... the United States would in principal take part in a security
  prescence in Bosnia when SFOR withdraws this summer."
                                            Bill Clinton (12/19/97)

"Yugo Digest"
The Yugo Digest was a weekly news digest of current events in the various republics of ex-Yugoslavia: Bosnia, Serbia, Croatia, Macedonia, Vojvodina, Slovenia, Montenegro & Kosovo. It was published in hard copy form as the Yugo News for the 432nd Civil Affairs Battalion from April, 1993, to January, 1996. I published the Yugo Digest on on the web from November, 1995 until I was deployed in January, 1996. I resumed web publication from my return home in April, 1996 until my hard drive was toasted in July, 1996.
