 * Keep. Military Missions are notable, especialy the first  Mission oft the  (from neutral Switzerland) Swiss Air Force on foreigen soil. This mission  made it possible  to build up later the Swisscoy and the Swiss  participitation  at KFOR Misions.FFA P-16 (talk) 05:13, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete not particularly noteworthy for a stand-alone article, possibly add a para in Swiss Air Force which has no mention of such operations. MilborneOne (talk) 14:15, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Keep - Can you elaborate a bit. Searching google and google books, the operation seems to have had coverage in Swiss newspapers and military journals. The article seems to pass NPOV, NOR, and V. Can you expand upon what exactly might be wrong with it? Smmurphy(Talk) 16:55, 12 April 2017 (UTC)
 * There is some mention, but not enough to make clear that the task force and/or the mission was noteworthy. The Banner talk 13:55, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - It was the first humanitarian longtime mission for the Swiss Air Force abroad --MBurch (talk) 03:18, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Evidence? The Banner talk 13:55, 13 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - cited, good body structure, well illustrated.--Bellerophon5685 (talk) 03:54, 14 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep -- A modest event, but worth having a WP article on. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:42, 16 April 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - This seems notable to me as a national-level contingent in a major international operation (per WP:MILUNIT - essay not policy though), added to fact that it represented a number of firsts for the Swiss etc. Google books alone returns 36 results in journals and books which for me is sufficient to at least presume that there is significant coverage of the topic as required by policy, i.e. WP:GNG (although many of them I can't read as they aren't in English). The article does have a few English funnies so could do with being copy-edited though. Anotherclown (talk) 00:55, 17 April 2017 (UTC)
