Operation Gabriel was the codename for the British military contribution in Rwanda as part of the UN Assistance Mission for Rwanda UNAMIR during the Rwandan genocide. British soldiers were deployed to Rwanda as part of a wider peacekeeping force that aimed to control the effects of the ongoing conflict and resulting genocide. British troops arrived in the country in August after just five days preparation, starting with a 60-strong advance group that aimed to repair infrastructure damaged by the conflict in the region, and to prepare for a mass evacuation of British civilians from the region. Six hundred troops followed the initial advance party shortly after, and contained elements from both Army and RAF logistics, support and infantry personnel. British troops were withdrawn in November

  • L'Operació Gabriel va ser el nom en clau de la missió militar britànica a Ruanda com a part de la missió d'ajut de l'ONU dins de l'UNAMIR. Immediatament després de la brutal guerra civil de Ruanda i del genocidi que la va seguir, aproximadament 650 tripulants de cinc brigades britàniques van acompanyar la Missió d'Assistència de l'ONU a Ruanda (UNAMIR) com a divisió de "l'Operació GABRIEL". El 30 de juliol, cinc dies després de preparar-se a Aldershot, els elements avançats del contingent, liderats pel Batalló Logístic de la Brigada Aerotransportada "CO 5", van entrar als aeroports de Kigali als marges de la capital. Van arribar després de cent dies de batalla i assassinats que van endur-se la vida d'un milió d'homes, dones i nens. Vint-i-tres ambulàncies de l'àmbit de paracaigudes "RAMC" (PFA) van establir ràpidament clíniques primàries de salut per als refugiats indefensos i van enfortir els tres hospitals operatius del país amb equips de salut mediambiental i equips quirúrgics per frenar l'expansió de la malaltia dins dels camps de refugiats que es trobaven en estat deplorable. Després de ser estacionat al nord de Ruanda durant un mes, el comandant de les forces militars, el Major General canadenc Romeo Dallaire, va tornar a desplegar vint-i-tres PFA per frenar l'evacuació massiva de refugiats a Zaire, situada a l'extrem sud del llac Kivu. Aquests PFA van ajudar a més de 125.000 civils durant quatre mesos. Ruanda tenia un marc adequat per a aquesta àrea a Àfrica, però va ser destruïda després del conflicte. Els sapadors de nou esquadrons de paracaigudes RE van treballar per millorar i preservar les rutes fonamentals de carretera i disposar de sistemes sanitaris suficients per als camps de refugiats llunyans. Creant materials de construcció, van restaurar les clíniques del poble, van tornar a connectar les fonts d'alimentació a les ciutats i van substituirels diversos encreuaments estratègics dels rius derruïts en un conflicte anterior. Tot això per motivar als refugiats a tornar dels camps on les seves vides estaven en perill. L'administració d'ajudes va ser facilitada i generalitzada de forma instantània pels esquadrons de seixanta tres Suports Aerotransportats Propers (Close Air Support) "RLC". Els soldats es van desplaçar a llocs remots amb 1.500 tones de material d'ajuda i van traslladar a 20.000 refugiats al teatre en un breu període. La guerra i les carreteres havien esgotat gran part de la flota de vehicles i equips d'utilitat, de transport i blindats de les Nacions Unides, que havien deixat abandonada a Ruanda. Durant el desplegament, la protecció de la infanteria va ser donada per la companyia del 2n Batalló del Regiment Real de la Princesa de Gal·les. Les Unitats Contingents Addicionals consistia desglossadament en 30 Regiments de Senyal, 29 Regiments de Control de Moviments, 49 Eliminacions d'Ordenacions Explosives (EOD), RE, 9 Regiments de Subministrament, 160 Companyies Proveïdores i l'Equip Reial d'Especialistes Enginyers (STRE). El servei del número 5 de la Brigada Aerotransportada a l'Operació Gabriel va durar fins al novembre de 1994, moment en què va ser retirat. D'aquí van sorgir onze honors, incloent la Wilkinson Sword of Peace (traduït al català com a Espasa de la Pau Wilkinson), concedida per reconèixer l'èxit del grup 5 de la Brigada Aerotransportada.

  • Operation Gabriel was the codename for the British military contribution in Rwanda as part of the UN Assistance Mission for Rwanda UNAMIR during the Rwandan genocide. British soldiers were deployed to Rwanda as part of a wider peacekeeping force that aimed to control the effects of the ongoing conflict and resulting genocide. British troops arrived in the country in August after just five days preparation, starting with a 60-strong advance group that aimed to repair infrastructure damaged by the conflict in the region, and to prepare for a mass evacuation of British civilians from the region. Six hundred troops followed the initial advance party shortly after, and contained elements from both Army and RAF logistics, support and infantry personnel. British troops were withdrawn in November 1994. Due to the sudden nature of the conflict, refugee camps had sprung up quickly around Rwanda to provide for those displaced by the conflict, and to shelter those who were being targeted by the perpetrators of the genocide. 23 Parachute Field Ambulance RAMC set up primary health clinics for the refugees of the camps, and provided both medical support and defence of the country's three operating hospitals. The hospitals were staffed by environmental health teams and trained military surgeons teams to treat casualties of disease and injury as a result of the conflict. After being stationed in the North of Rwanda for a month, 23 Parachute Field Ambulance were relocated by the Canadian Major General Roméo Dallaire, to halt the mass evacuation of refugees into Zaire, located at the Southern end of Lake Kivu. 23 Parachute Field Ambulance was responsible for the aid of over 125,000 civilians over the 4-month deployment. As Rwanda had suffered widespread damage to infrastructure, including electricity supplies and roadways, the sappers of 9 Parachute Squadron RE were deployed to repair roads, reconnect electricity supplies and install basic sanitary equipment. During the early stages of the United Nations mission in Rwanda, the UN Peacekeeping force had found themselves largely without efficient vehicles and methods of transportation to carry out their mission - namely ensuring that the terms of the Arusha Accords were being upheld. Despite the collapse of the Accords, the United Nations peacekeeping force remained in-theatre, but were hampered by logistical problems that made the transportation of materiel and civilians difficult. 63 Airborne Close Support Squadron RLC was deployed to allow the United Nations force to transport cargo and civilians to remote locations. 20,000 refugees and 1500 tons of material were carried during their time in the theatre. Infantry protection was given by A Company 2nd Battalion The Princess of Wales Royal Regiment over the course of deployment. Additional units consisted of detachment from 30 Signal Regiment, 29 Movement Control Regiment, 49 Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD), RE, 9 Supply Regiment, 160 Provost Company and the Specialist Team Royal Engineers (STRE).
