#OnThisDay 26 years ago #USAFE began Operation Provide Promise, flying humanitarian relief missions to cities in Croatia and Bosnia-Herzegovina. The violent disintegration of Yugoslavia prompted the United Nations to deploy peacekeeping forces and begin humanitarian relief operations. Air Mobility Command deployed an aerial port element to Zagreb. Staging through this airport, USAFE’s 435th Airlift Wing flew as many as six C-130 sorties per day from Rhein-Main Air Base, Germany, to Sarajevo. The operation continued until Jan. 9, 1996, USAFE’s longest humanitarian operation ever. U.S. European Command (EUCOM)
