Czech Response: Anti-CW Troops Go to Kuwait in March Czech anti-chemical warfare troops will arrive in Kuwait in early March to participate in the U.S.-led war against terrorism, Czech Defense Minister Jaroslav Tvrdik said today (see GSN, Dec. 20). The unit’s command plans to leave for Kuwait in the middle of this month, followed by an advance of 20 members of the unit, Tvrdik said. The unit’s 350 troops are mainly from the ninth chemical unit in Liberec. A proposed field hospital will not yet be sent to Kuwait, according to the Czech Defense Ministry. “However, its preparation continues and it will be deployed as soon as the next operational requirements are made,” the defense ministry press department said (CTK/BBC Monitoring, Jan. 9).
