The 32nd Brigade headquarters has been used to lead and coordinate military actions against the Libyan civilian population.
“NATO will continue its campaign to degrade the Qadhafi regime forces that are involved in the ongoing attacks on civilians. We do so in accordance with the United Nations Security Council Mandate 1973 in order to protect, by any means, the civilian population from attack,” said Lieutenant-General Charles Bouchard, the Commander of Operation Unified Protector.
