Operation Horseshoe was a military plan designed and run under the auspices of Belgrade's general staff--as if the Joint Chiefs of Staff had planned and executed an operation to cleanse some ethnic population out of Texas.

Serbian state officials secured the convoy's route through Serbia and ensured that a road into Kosovo was kept free of refugees and retreating troops.
