The kid's big scene - anatomy of a CBI
Article Abstract:
Members of the Seventh Army Training Command's Combat Maneuver Training Center (CMTC) in Germany prepare a continuing series of various, interrelated situations that soldiers may encounter on peacekeeping missions in the Balkans. Called complex battlefield incidents (CBI), these scenarios simulate incidents with geopolitical implications that soldiers must address. Akin to Hollywood movies, the CMTC assigns people to act as civilians in each situation. One CBI scene, for example, involved two Kosovo waifs playing with weapons. The children of a CMTC employee acted out the roles of the children.

BASOPS in USAREUR: an area support group perspective
Article Abstract:
The US Army Europe's (USAREUR) base operations or BASOPS support system serves US soldiers, civilians and family members in northern Europe, Germany, Italy and the Balkans. BASOPS aptly reflects the Army commitment to helping its members and their families. USAREUR staff provide broad program management directives, quality-of-life standards for installation support functions and guidance/assistance to supporting installations. They accomplish these tasks by coordinating the efforts of seven area support groups and 14 subordinate base support battalions.
