The Army began by assisting in relief operations in Somalia, but by December 1992 it was deeply engaged on the ground in Operation RESTORE HOPE in that chaotic African country. These disturbing events of a decade ago have taken on increasing meaning after the horrific attacks of 11 September 2001.
The American people woke up one day in early October 1993 to news reports of dozens of our soldiers killed or wounded in fierce fighting in the streets of the capital city Mogadishu. troops were slowly drawn into interclan power struggles and ill-defined &"nation-building" missions. Greeted initially by Somalis happy to be saved from starvation, U.S. No such operation has proven as costly or shocking, however, as that undertaken in Somalia from August 1992 to March 1994.
The United States Army has a long tradition of humanitarian relief.
