1. The Ambassador supports ODC Macedonia's 1206 request
proposal for FY10 - "Embedded Operational Mentor and Liaison
Team (OMLT) Equipment Set8 for use by units deploying to the

National Security Forces. Macedonia currently has 163
soldiers serving in ISAF and, no later than 1 April 2010,
will deploy an additional 79 soldiers as part of a Secretary
of Defense approved co-deployment with elements of the
Vermont National Guard.

rights by the units who are proposed to receive assistance.
