UN Peacekeeping Force – 2003
2003
Full Implementation 
According to Secretary General’s report on UNAMSIL, “The implementation of phase 2 started in December 2002 and was completed by 31 May 2003. Under this phase, a total of 3,826 troops, consisting of the Pakistani artillery unit, the Ghanaian sector 3 headquarters staff, the Kenyan sector 2 headquarters staff, the Bangladeshi logistics battalion, some elements of the Bangladesh signals battalion, a Nigerian battalion, the Guinean battalion, and the Ghanaian level 2 hospital, were withdrawn from the Mission. The Mission’s troop strength was thus reduced from 16,900 to the current level of 13,074 personnel.”1
An accelerated drawdown plan would see all UNAMSIL troops leaving Sierra Leone by June 2004.
