BOSNIA: MOUNT IGMAN: RAPID REACTION FORCE READY FOR ACTION

(25 Jul 1995) English/Nat Troops in the Rapid Reaction force based on strategic Mount Igman say they and their artillery are ready for action. The British and French soldiers are protecting the main supply route into Sarajevo. They're under orders to fire back at Bosnian Serbs who attack peacekeepers and their convoys. More than 800 combat troops from the Rapid Reaction Force are consolidating their position high above the Bosnian capital Sarajevo on Mount Igman. Their deployment is designed to stop daily targeting of peacekeepers and convoys that use the Mount Igman road, the only land route in and out of Sarajevo not physically blocked by the Serbs. Throughout the day heavy artillery was moved into position. These are the 105 millimetre howitzer shells that will fall on rebel Serbs if they dare attack the convoy route. SOUNDBITE: "as a battery we're ready to fire now. All that's happening now is we're trying to improve our positions with the defence of the gun pits, we're ready to fire now" SUPER CAPTION: Captain Graham Porter, UNPROFOR Rapid Reaction Force The troops will continue to prepare and train - so that if it's ever necessary they can live up to their title of rapid reaction force.
