The vast majority of U.S. troops are stationed outside of Urosevac at Camp Bondsteel. A company-size element is based at Camp Nothing Hill, a military compound near the border with Serbia. Most of these U.S. soldiers are with the National Guard. The NATO-led Kosovo Force (KFOR) currently includes forces from the U.S., Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Czech Republic, Netherlands, Spain, Poland, Greece, Turkey, Russia, Canada, and Ukraine.
