The Multinational Force & Observers (MFO), headquartered in Rome, is an international peacekeeping organization, created by agreement between the Arab Republic of Egypt and the State of Israel.

The MFO's South Camp, near Sharm el Sheikh on the southern tip of the Sinai Peninsula, is situated on a bluff overlooking the Red Sea. It houses the Force Headquarters and serves as the operational and logistical base for MFO activities in the southern sector of Zone C.

Since its inception, the MFO has matured as an organization, reduced its operating costs, improved its efficiency, and performed its peacekeeping mission with agility, adaptability, professionalism, and pride.

The United States Army provides the single largest contingent to the MFO. The different activities provided by the US contingent are described below. Overview
