Operation Summary The Canadian Forces deployed a detachment of six CF-188 fighter aircraft to Aviano Air Base (Italy) to participate in support operations for the Stabilization Force (SFOR) in Bosnia and Herzegovina. The mission started on 14 August 1997 and ended on 30 November 1997.

Mission Following the Dayton Peace Accords signed in Paris on 14 December 1995, the United Nations Security Council authorized the Implementation Force (IFOR) to implement the accord. This was later followed by the creation of the Stabilization Force (SFOR) on 12 December 1996. One of the operations created by the NATO was Deliberate Guard, which included enforcement of U.N-mandated no-fly zones and suppression of enemy air defenses.

Operation Mirador is the canadian name for its participation in NATO Operation Deliberate Guard, which itself is part of Operation Joint Guard.
