Believe it or not, the United States has had military personnel in Kosovo for longer than it has in Iraq or Afghanistan.  It’s part of the NATO KFor (Kosovo Force) mission, which began in June 1999.

Currently there are ‘Task Force Valkyrie’ National Guard units from Connecticut and Vermont in Kosovo, but since July they’ve been working a little extra duty fighting wildfires.
