Additional Information
Last Known Activity:
SGM Jim Parker was the S-3 SGM for the 2nd PSYOP Grp until he was forced to retire due to the one fight he didn't win (cancer).
Other Comments:
I was honored to call Parker a friend, but I didn't know him nearly as well as some. I need help to get this page squared away. Please let me know if you served with him in Nam or Iraq or Bosnia/Kosovo.... or anywhere else I don't know about.
Operation Joint Guard (Bosnia and Herzegovina)
From Month/Year
December / 1996
To Month/Year
June / 1998
Description
On 20 December 1996, NATO transitioned its operation in support of the Dayton Peace Accords in Bosnia and Herzegovina from implementation to stabilization. As a result, Operation Joint Endeavor ended and Operation Joint Guard began. NATO's Implementation Force (IFOR) was similarly replaced by a Stabilization Force (SFOR). The US Task Force Eagle, comprised at that time of 20,000 soldiers led by elements of the 1st Infantry Division, continued to be the US component of the NATO mission. On 20 June 1998, the decision was made to scale down the size of SFOR and NATO transitioned from Operation Joint Guard to Operation Joint Forge.
