Project narrative

On November 27, 2012, the first batch of peacekeepers in the 15th Peacekeeping mission set off for the DRC. The 218 peacekeepers in total came from the engineering unit and medical unit. The second batch of peacekeepers will set off 10 days later with 118 peacekeepers. The peacekeeping mission is likely supporting the United Nations Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or MONUSCO. The mission will reportedly last for 8 months.
