But the mission is being delayed by a more powerful adversary than mines: Mother Nature. Efforts to build a pontoon bridge across the Sava River, so that the bulk of the U.S. deployment could proceed from Croatia into Bosnia, were swamped by the swollen river's floodwaters, which rose more than 5 ft. in 24 hours, sweeping away materiel, stranding trucks and soaking G.I.s...
