Multi-National Force -- Sinai:  Task Force 2-27

Jan/97. The 2nd Battalion Wolfhounds returned from
the Sinai where they had served for the past six months as peacekeepers with the Multinational Forces and Observers. MFO troops observe and report on compliance with the 1979 Camp David peace treaty between Eygpt and Israel and to ensure freedom of navigation through the Strait of Tiran at the southern end of
the Gulf of Aqaba.

The soldiers spent 23 days at a time at small remote observation posts along the edge of the Sinai Desert and the coast of the Gulf of Aqaba looking for treaty violations. When not on observation duty, the Wolfhounds found time to keep up their conventional Infantry skills, attend college and perform support duties.

The 2nd Battalion, 87th Infantry, 10th Mountain Division (Fort Drum, NY) relieved them in a ceremony at South Camp, Egypt on
January 15th.
