A Navy hospital corpsman (left) is aided by an Albanian interpreter as he treats a young boy who has scraped his arm in Zegra, Kosovo, on June 28, 1999. The corpsman is attached to the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit. Elements of the 26th deployed from ships of the USS Kearsarge Amphibious Ready Group as an enabling force for KFOR. KFOR is the NATO-led, international military force which will deploy into Kosovo on a peacekeeping mission known as Operation Joint Guardian. KFOR will ultimately consist of over 50,000 troops from more than 24 contributing nations, including NATO member-states, Partnership for Peace nations and others.
