Inauguration of the 21st Position

August 23, 2011 - UNDOF set yet another milestone in its mandate of keeping the peace in the Golan by providing the latest peacekeeping facility - the best of its kind ever constructed.

The abode situated at the southern tip of the Area of Separation (AOS) just a valley apart from Posn 80A and about 90 minutes travel from UNDOF HQ in Camp Faouar is appointed the name "UN Position 86" with amenities designed to protect its occupants in the service of peace. Posn 86 was conceptualized in 2010 and provides a twelve-room accommodation building, over-head water tanks, a water filtration system, two generator sets, a communication facility with self-supporting tower, an emergency shelter, two light vehicles, freezer storage and refrigerators, operational equipment and scores of quartermaster items.
