Success of the Leo deployment to Kosovo?? Not quite sure how it is you're defining success but having had much contact with other nations, our "token show", as one Brit put it, was viewed as a joke. Don't get me wrong, they weren't commenting on the troopers manning them just the fact that yet again we tried to do things on a shoe string. The French learned the hard way in WWII what deploying tanks in small packets results in, it would have been the same for us.For bang for the buck they would have been better off sending C/S 60 from the LdSH(RC)in addition to Recce Sqn. Now the Coyote...*that* is the success story there.
