In October 1992, the British force (BRITFOR) deployed in the form of a brigade staff, an infantry battalion, a logistics battalion, a reconnaissance squadron and an engineer squadron. With a headquarters and logistics base in Split, on the Croatian Coast, other units deployed throughout central Bosnia and the task of escorting UNHCR convoys began. The Croat–Bosniak War in central Bosnia was a conflict between the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina and the self-proclaimed Croatian Republic of Herzeg-Bosnia, supported by Croatia, that began on 18th October 1992. After heavy fighting between the Croats and Muslims, a ceasefire was finally co-ordinated on 23rd February 1994 and a Muslim-Croat Federation established.
