On the night of 29 April 1994, however, alarms sounded in the Danish camp and seven out of the total ten Leopard 1 A5 tanks were called into action. Accounts from several of the tank commanders tell that the tank divisions were mobilised and sent out without clear orders or assignment, but informed that the lives of UN personnel were at risk. It was soon relayed to the tank commanders, however, that they were to rescue the observation post TANGO 2, manned by Norwegian and Swedish troops, had come under heavy fire by the Bosnian-Serb forces they were surveilling on a nearby mountaintop.
