Turns out that they&#8217;re talking about the <a href=\"http:\/\/mfo.org\/\">Multinational Force and Observers<\/a> peacekeeping force that has been going on since the Carter years;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>A group of U.S. soldiers are rocked and ready to deploy to Egypt for a 9-month peacekeeping mission aimed at curbing riots.<\/p>\n<p>More than 400 American troops will ultimately go, as part of the Multinational Force and Observers peacekeeping force, KDH News reported. Their mission: To man posts and security checkpoints along the Sinai Peninsula. They\u2019re also tasked with reporting violations to the peace treaty between Egypt and Israel, KDH News said. KCEN reported that they will engage if protests and riots reach the point of threatening Israel\u2019s security.<\/p>\n<p>Part of their training included how to respond to Molotov cocktails, KCEN reported.<\/p>\n<p>The force is comprised of soldiers from 13 nations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I guess, what with the wars recently and the &#8220;Arab Spring&#8221; everyone forgot that the <a href=\"http:\/\/mfo.org\/contingents\/US\">US has been deploying troops to the Sinai<\/a> to keep Egypt and Israel separated since the the two nations and the US signed the Camp David Accords in 1978.
