[Complete] Scene Caption: A British CH-47 Chinook lifts the first of three abutments that are to be placed into the Bosna River. Construction continued on a bridge in Doboj that will allow Stabilization Forces (SFOR) travel over the Bosna River during Operation JOINT FORGE. The 13-10 Helicopter Unit, part of the 7th Squadron of the United Kingdom Royal Air Force (RAF) Support Helicopter Force based out of Split, deployed with a CH-47 Chinook to move three 7.5 ton abutments into the river. Last week increased water level in the Bosna River delayed the scheduled mission. With the water level back down, the mission was back on and the RAF Support Helicopter Force was ready to get to work. The helicopter crew brought with them the RAF Joint Helicopter Support Unit (based out of Odiham, UK) to assist in the sling load mission. JOINT FORGE maintains a smaller NATO led Stabiliization Force (SFOR) in Bosnia-Herzegovina.
