Oregon Army National Guard Capt. Andrew Christoson from the 41st Infantry Brigade Combat Team observes a Kosovo Force training exercise Oct. 9, 2020, at a Kosovo Security Force camp near Gjakova/Dakovica, Kosovo. The training exercise was part of ongoing KFOR training initiatives designed to increase interoperability among nearly one dozen multinational organizations within KFOR. The training exercise was part of a progression to a larger-scale exercise held on Oct. 29. In the event that a civil disturbance anywhere in Kosovo can no longer be controlled by local police and becomes dangerous to community members, KFOR troops may be called upon to provide assistance. All KFOR troops are responsible for ensuring a safe and secure environment for all community members in Kosovo in accordance with the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244.
