The Air Force's Role in Protecting Civilians

''We answered the call'' - the end of Operation Unified Protector
After seven months of operations at sea and in the air NATO has ended its mission for Libya. The Alliance’s job to
protect civilians from the threat of attack is done. On his historic first visit on 31 October to the Libyan capital of Tripoli, NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said he was proud of the part the Organization and its partners played in helping the country and the region.

“When the United Nations took the historic decision to protect you, NATO answered the call. We launched our operation faster than ever before. More than 8,000 servicemen and women took part in our mission for Libya. We were effective, flexible and precise,” Rasmussen said.

A successful mission

The Secretary General praised Libyans for their courage, determination and sacrifice in liberating their country. The head of Libya’s National Transitional Council, Mustafa Abdul Jalil, thanked NATO for its support. “The operations of NATO were successful. The strikes were so accurate that civilians were not harmed. The people of Tripoli can testify to this,” Jalil said.
