The countryside surrounding this U.S. Army encampment looks deceptively like central Ohio farmland. Snow blankets rows of dead corn stalks in the fields.
Farmhouses dot the flat horizon.
To the northwest, a rural road leads to a nearby village. But danger signs are everywhere for the 150 men of the 4th battalion of the 67th Armor. Most of the farmhouses have been bombed. All the village houses are riddled with bullets and shrapnel marks - mementos of a firefight between Bosnian Croats and Bosnian Serbs who fought over this ground until only a few months ago. A destroyed Yugoslav army tank sits off a street in the village.
