ABSTRACT
Events prior to the Dayton peace accords are dealt with in the Introduction and Overview.
1 November 1995: the peace settlement talks begin at the Wright-Patterson Air Base near Dayton, Ohio, USA.
8 November 1995: the USA and Russia announce that a Russian combat brigade (about 1,500 troops) will participate in the implementation force as part of a US division. The Russian commander will take orders from the US division commander, who will, in turn, take orders from General George Joulwan in his capacity as supreme commander of US forces in Europe rather than as supreme Nato (allied) military commander in Europe. The question of overall political control of the peacekeeping operation remains.
