underway in August 2001 with the mission to disarm the UCK in Macedonia.
Task Force Harvest was made up of British, French, German, Spanish,
Italian, Dutch, Greek and Turkish combat units, as well as American

that participated in the operation, as well as those of the UCK.

Golden Trident
The large-scale Exercise 'Golden Trident' was a good opportunity
for the US Marines, French Legionnaires, and Spanish Marines to
train together for amphibious assault in the Mediterranean. Amphibious
assault warships, hovercrafts, landing crafts, Amtracks and transport
choppers brought the marines and their fighting vehicles ashore
for the exercise.

The 1st Battalion is based in eastern England as a light role infantry
battalion. The 2nd Battalion is an armored infantry battalion equipped
