U.S. and Latvian Soldiers Train Together in Sling Load Operations

PRISTINA - U.S. and Latvian soldiers assigned to Regional Command-East of the NATO-led KFOR mission recently joined together for day and night sling load operations training. Conducting sling load training allows KFOR troops to stay prepared to be able to airlift vehicles or supplies via sling ropes attached to rotary-wing helicopters at a moment’s notice.

These efforts are part of KFOR’s daily mission to stay prepared for any scenario and constantly support all communities living in Kosovo.

KFOR continues to implement its mandate - based on UN Security Council Resolution 1244 of 1999 - to contribute to a safe and secure environment for all people and communities living in Kosovo and freedom of movement, at all times and impartially. KFOR works in close coordination with the Kosovo Police and the European Union Mission on Rule of Law in Kosovo (EULEX) in their respective roles as security responders.
