“Mountain Warriors are skilled practitioners of their craft and have been strengthened by the addition of Latvian, Polish and Turkish Soldiers,” he said. “These Soldiers demonstrate a commitment to each other on a daily basis. This level of commitment has only been met by the attention to detail and a sense of urgency to the people of Kosovo.”
