German newspaper Bild, has revealed plans for European Forces (EUFOR) ground troops in Libya.  The plans are described as a 60 page “humanitarian” operation on the ground.

Germany will be in charge of the proposed four month operation.  No troop numbers are given.  German Defense Minister, Thomas de Maizière, says the situation is still to tense to send in ground forces, but they expect a similar situation as in Iraq and Afghanistan; IED, mines, small attacks by tribes.

De Maizière also says the European Union asked for such a plan earlier in April.
