EU deployment to the DROC

[Old Redeye]

P.,

In that context I have to agree with you.

Well it was in the news today that we may be sending troops but with our current deployments(Liberia, Kosovo, Afghanistan, etc) we`ll only be able to provide at most 90 soldiers.

Am how many Irish Troops are in Afghanistan?

[Frank]

IIRC there are 3 or 4 soldiers serving with ISAF in Afghanistan. They are based at the HQ in Kabul.

I wouldnt call that a Deployment.

Hi all
Irish UN peacekeepers are deployed worldwide,especially on border monitoring duties in areas such as the Golan Heights.If you added them all up, it totals nearly a thousand, which is a big chunk of the PDF total manpower.It takes a lot of people at home to support the people overseas, given the amount of people out sick, on leave, on courses,on barrack duties,training,etc.Also, a deployment doesn't have to be big to learn useful information about the recipient nation or the local political environment.
