		Significant reductions in the size and frequency of US patrols, carried out progressively during December 1995 and January 1996, were integrated with psychological operations campaigns designed to show the Haitians that the streets were being guarded satisfactorily by their own police.
		US patrol activities in low- and high-crime areas of the city--identified by statistical analysis and defined by the operations matrix--were therefore reduced in a time-phased, step function sequence.

		The plan was to lay an "airborne carpet" along the 64-mile Eindhoven-Arnhem road along which the British 2nd Army (spearheaded by XXX Corps under Lieut-General B.G. Horrocks) would advance rapidly to reach the Arnhem road and rail bridges which gave passage across the last great natural barrier to the Reich, the Lower Rhine.

		The "Garden" part of the plan was the land offensive by the armour of Lieut-General Horrocks' XXX Corps and other elements of the 2nd Army.
