     2008年6月17日。--提交外交事务委员会,并被命令于2008年6月13日在华盛顿白宫印刷。亲爱的。南希·佩洛西,华盛顿特区众议院议长。亲爱的议长女士:我提供这份由我的政府编制的、符合战争权力决议(公法93-148)的补充综合报告,作为我向国会通报全世界作战装备美国武装部队部署情况的努力的一部分。本补充报告涵盖支持反恐战争和科索沃的行动。根据第107-40号公法和《战争权力决议》,我报告了2001年9月24日以来的反恐战争,从2001年10月7日开始,在阿富汗针对基地组织恐怖分子及其塔利班支持者开展的战斗行动,以及在中部、太平洋、欧洲和南部指挥行动区的若干地点部署各种作战装备和作战支援部队,以支持这些行动和反恐战争中的其他行动。我将指示采取必要的额外措施,以行使美国的自卫权,保护美国公民和利益。这些措施可能包括在世界各地为敏感行动在短时间内部署特别行动和其他部队。目前尚不可能知道美国武装部队部署的确切范围或持续时间,以应对对美国的恐怖主义威胁。美国武装部队在众多联盟伙伴的协助下,继续开展美国追捕基地组织恐怖分子和消除对基地组织支持的运动。这些行动成功地严重削弱了基地组织的训练能力。美国武装部队在众多联盟伙伴的协助下,结束了塔利班时代,并正在阿富汗积极追击基地组织和塔利班残余战士。驻阿富汗部队总数约为31 122人,其中约14 275人分配给驻阿富汗国际安全援助部队(安援部队)。联合国安理会在2001年12月20日联合国安理会第1386号决议中授权国际安全援助部队,并在2007年9月19日联合国安理会第1776号决议中重申了自那时以来的授权,最近一次是从2007年10月13日起为期12个月。在北约指挥下,安援部队的任务是协助阿富汗政府创造一个安全可靠的环境,以便继续重建、行使和扩大阿富汗权力。目前,40多个国家向国际安全援助部队提供援助,包括所有26个北约盟国。美国继续拘留数百名基地组织和塔利班战士,据信他们对美国及其利益构成持续威胁。自2002年1月以来,部署在美国南部作战指挥区古巴关塔那摩湾海军基地的作战装备和作战支援部队继续在关塔那摩湾对敌方战斗人员进行安全拘留行动。联合国安理会在2003年10月16日联合国安理会第1511号决议中授权驻伊拉克多国部队(MNF),并在2004年6月8日联合国安理会第1546号决议和2005年11月8日联合国安理会第1637号决议中重申其授权,联合国安理会2006年11月28日第1723号决议和2007年12月18日第1790号决议将于2008年12月31日到期。根据第1546、1637、1723和1790号决议,多国部队的任务是促进伊拉克的安全与稳定。这些贡献包括在伊拉克人民起草和批准宪法并建立宪法选举产生的政府时,协助建设伊拉克安全部队和机构的能力。美国对多国部队的贡献随时间而波动,这取决于地面指挥官确定的战区条件;美国目前向多国部队提供的兵力约为155230名美国军事人员。为了进一步打击对美国、美国的朋友和盟国以及我们的海外部队构成持续和紧迫威胁的恐怖分子,美国继续与世界各地的朋友和盟国合作。这些努力包括部署美国作战装备和作战支援部队,以协助加强我们的朋友和盟国的反恐能力。美国作战装备部队和作战支援部队继续驻扎在非洲之角地区。此外,美国继续在公海所有地理作战司令部负责的地区开展海上拦截行动anders. These maritime operations have the responsibility to stop the movement, arming, or financing of international terrorists. nato-led kosovo force (kfor) As noted in previous reports regarding U.S. contributions in support of peacekeeping efforts in Kosovo, the U.N. Security Council authorized Member States to establish KFOR in U.N. Security Council Resolution 1244 of June 10, 1999. The original mission of KFOR was to monitor, verify, and when necessary, to enforce compliance with the Military Technical Agreement between NATO and Serbia (formerly the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia), while maintaining a safe and secure environment. Today, KFOR deters renewed hostilities and, with local authorities and international police, contributes to the maintenance of a safe and secure environment that facilitates the work of the United Nations Interim Administrative Mission in Kosovo (UNMIK), the European Union (EU)-led International Civilian Office, and the evolving EU Rule of Law Mission (EULEX). Currently, there are 25 NATO nations contributing to KFOR. Eight non-NATO contributing countries also participate by providing military and other support personnel to KFOR. The U.S. contribution to KFOR is about 1,500 U.S. military personnel, or approximately 9 percent of KFOR's total strength of approximately 16,000 personnel. The U.S. forces participating in KFOR have been assigned to the eastern region of Kosovo, but also have operated in other areas of the country based on mission, requirements. For U.S. KFOR forces, as for KFOR generally, helping to maintain a safe and secure environment remains the principal military task. The KFOR operates under NATO command and control and rules of engagement. The KFOR currently coordinates with and supports UNMIK within means and capabilities and, pending decision by the North Atlantic Council, may offer this same cooperation to EULEX. The KFOR provides a security presence in towns, villages, and the country- side and organizes checkpoints and patrols in key areas to provide security, to protect all elements of the population living in Kosovo, and to instill a feeling of confidence in all ethnic communities throughout Kosovo. NATO continues periodically to conduct a formal review of KFOR's mission. These reviews provide a basis for assessing current force levels, future requirements, force structure, force reductions, and the eventual withdrawal of KFOR. NATO adopted the Joint Operations Area plan to regionalize and rationalize its force structure in the Balkans. The UNMIK international police and Kosovo Police Service (KPS) have primary responsibility for public safety and policing throughout Kosovo. The UNMIK international police and KPS also have assumed responsibility for guarding some patrimonial sites and operating border crossings. The KFOR supports these police forces when requested and augments security in particularly sensitive areas or in response to particular threats as events on the ground dictate. The relationship among UNMIK police, EULEX, KPS, and the Government of Kosovo will likely be adjusted after June 15, 2008, when the constitution of the Republic of Kosovo comes into force. I have directed the participation of U.S. Armed Forces in all of these operations pursuant to my constitutional authority to conduct the foreign relations of the United States and as Commander in Chief and Chief Executive. Officials of my Administration and I communicate regularly with the leadership and other Members of Congress with regard to these deployments, and we will continue to do so. Sincerely, George W. Bush.
