ess (phil hunt) allegedly uttered:

How many US troops are in ex-Yugoslavia right now?


Couldn't find exact figures, but in Bosnia, the US is part of the
Multinational Brigade North, which is a total of 2,700 personnel, so
figure 2000 tops.

In Kosovo, the US leads Multinational Brigade East, which according to
the KFOR website is the 28th Infantry Division, plus a Greek and
multinational unit. Presumably it's a Brigade or less of the 28th (or
it would be one hell of a big Multinational Brigade), but no numbers
are quoted on the website.
