Operation Restore Hope vs. Operation Joint Endeavor

Abstract

This is an in depth study into Operation Restore Hope and Operations Joint Endeavor. In 1992, President Bush sent more than 24,000 troops to Somalia for Operation Restore Hope. This was a major commitment of US power, which was solely intended to put an end to a humanitarian catastrophe. A look into the reasons and circumstances that led to Operation Restore Hope will be discussed. In what is known as Operation Joint Endeavor, forces from the Unites States and its NATO allies deployed twenty thousand peacekeeping forces to Bosnia to implement the military terms of the Dayton Peace Accords. This operation represented the first out-of-area deployment of NATO forces and the first time that U.S. and Soviet soldiers were involved in a joint military mission (Fitzgerald, 2002). The purpose of Joint Endeavor was to provide peacekeeping forces to supervise the ceasefire that was organized by NATO in the Balkan civil war.
