Training and processing for the call-up included warnings about sniper threats and terrorist activities. Amrom also was warned about the more than 8 million unexploded land mines in Bosnia. After several days of travel, Amrom's team arrived at Camp Dobol in mid-June. The camp, which houses 800 soldiers and civilian employees, can be an intimidating sight, Amrom said. The perimeter is wire and piles of dirt fortifications with guard towers around the edges.
Access is limited, and there are sandbag bunkers scattered about.
Amrom lives in a portion of a truck trailer that was converted into living quarters. His room is slightly smaller than a jail cell, Amrom said, but he doesn't have any complaints. The living conditions are not the best, but from my experience, they could be a lot worse. Amrom, who was previously deployed to Panama, Grenada, Haiti, and Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, will be in Bosnia until the end of January. Despite his lengthy tour, Amrom remains committed to the Army Reserves' efforts in Bosnia.
