Operation Amanda

1993 1994 1995 Operation Amanda was a United Nations Protection Force (UNPROFOR) mission conducted by Danish peacekeeping troops, with the aim of recovering an observation post, S01, belonging to 9th mech inf coy Nordbat 2 near Gradačac, Bosnia and Herzegovina, on October 25, 1994.

Following a series of sniper attacks by Bosnian Serb forces, the staff of Nordbat 2 decided it was time to "show the flag".

One Swedish mechanised infantry platoon put on high alert status in order to provide recovery and rescue services.

There were also units from the Jordanian Army with artillery localisation radar and medics with armoured ambulances standing by.
