1st Cavalry Engineers Plaque, Stabilization Force (SFOR) Bosnia 98-99. Wooden plaque measures 37cm x 22.7cm. On 7 October 1998, The 1st Cavalry Division, under the leadership of MG Kevin P. Byrnes and CSM Paul Inman, assumed authority of the Multinational Division (North) area of operations in Bosnia-Herzegovina from the 1st Armored Division. The 1st Cavalry Division was the first CONUS (Continental United States) based division to assume this mission. The 1st Cavalry Division’s mission was to conduct operations to enforce the military provisions set forth by the Dayton Accords. The First Team Soldiers served as our nation’s ambassadors. Their day-to-day presence and commitment to the citizens of this ravaged nation helped prove that a lasting and self-sustaining peace is possible. . . . The 1st Cavalry Division turned over responsibility for Multinational Division – North on 4 August 1999 to the 10th Mountain Division based out of Fort Drum, New York and the 2nd Brigade turned over their sector of Bosnia to the 2nd Brigade of the 10th Mountain Division on 1 October 1999 ending the First Team’s historic deployment to Bosnia-Herzegovina.
