This book contains these articles: 1) Task Force Harvest Under British command, operation "Essential Harvest" got underway in August 2001 with the mission to disarm the UCK in Macedonia. Task Force Harvest was made up of British, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Greek and Turkish combat units, as well as American support forces. Our photojournalist Yves Debay bought us high quality images of the armour and mechanised infantry of the various countries that participated in the operation, as well as those of the UCK. 2) 1-4 CAV 'The Quarterhorse' The 1st Squadron, 4th US Cavalry belongs to the 1st (US) Infantry Division and is based in Schweinfurt, Germany. This modern cavalry unit's combat asset consists of M1A1HA Abrams MBT, M2A2 ODS Bradley CFV, OH-58D Kiowa Warrior chopper as well as support vehicles. Carl Schulze provides us with a photograph report of the 1-4 CAV in operations in Germany, as well as peace-keeping missions in Bosnia and Kosovo. 3) Golden Trident The large-scale Exercise 'Golden Trident' was a good opportunity for the US Marines, French Legionnaires, and Spanish Marines to train together for amphibious assault in the Mediterranean. Amphibious assault warships, hovercrafts, landing crafts, Amtracks and transport choppers brought the marines and their fighting vehicles ashore for the exercise. 4) The Royal Regiment of Fusiliers With a long tradition, the RRF consists of two battalions today. The 1st Battalion is based in eastern England as a light role infantry battalion. The 2nd Battalion is an armoured infantry battalion equipped with Warrior IFV. Our article highlights the 2 RRF and their Warriors in operations and exercises throughout Europe and the 1 RRF in Northern Ireland.
