UNTAES was set up on January 15, 1996 to last for a year during which they were to monitor the demilitarization of these eastern Croatian regions and ensure the peaceful reintegration of the territory into Croatia. The mission had a military and a civilian component; a bit over 4,800 soldiers, 400-odd police officers and 99 military observers.
It had its mandate extended for another year and ended on January 15, 1998. A support group of 180 civilian UN police officers remained to monitor the progress of the Croatian police and oversee the return of the refugees.
