Operation Eagle Eye (Kosovo)

Operation Eagle Eye was part of the Kosovo Verification Mission, which followed 1999 Kosovo War; the aim was to monitor the federal Yugoslav government's compliance with United Nations Security Council Resolution 1199, and in particular the withdrawal of armed forces from Kosovo and compliance with the ceasefire.

Operation Eagle was the name of the aerial component of this monitoring, which began October 17th, 1998. Operation Eagle Eye worked in concert with these 1400 ground observers in Kosovo. As a result of a Yugoslav troop activities and other forms of non-compliance, the ground observers were withdrawn due to "an unacceptable level of risk to the peace support verification mission", resulting in an end to aerial verification on March 24, 1999.
