Great pics! I'm kind of suprised to see the EU flag flying in the French camp (or is that the Franco-Belgian contingent HQ?)

Hellfish, I think it was a European mission, but Belgians and Frenchies were in the same sector or something. I have no idea actually :P

I think Artemis was the first Euro military operation ... it wasn't all that big (5000 strong with 4000 frenchies?), but a good place to start woot

or Concordia was first, I dunno

edit: Pandur

EU military operations:

Concordia (Macedonia) - April-June 2003
Artemis (DR Congo) - June-September 2003
Proxima (Macedonia) - EU police mission - ongoing
Althea (Bosnia) - ongoing
There were other EU missions, but they don't really have a military/police component.

Belgium contributed the following during Artemis:

• 23-member medical detachment from EMI1 (Eléments Médicaux d’Intervention), EMI2, EMI22, HCB RA (Hôpital Centrale de la Base – Reine Astrid) (Composante Médicale)
• Pandur medical vehicles
• 2 C-130 Hercules (tactical transport)
• Airbus A-310 (strategic transport)
