Only small units are mentioned.  A serious ground invasion
would require at least two or three hundred thousand
troops and a buildup lasting months.  The announcement and
its referent (if any) must have some other purpose.  

The NATO leadership cannot possibly be under the impression
that the air campaign has been successful in disabling the
Yugoslav army, so I would guess that "successful end of the
air campaign" must refer to the Russian fix being put in and
victory being declared.

In this case elite troops might be useful in occupying and
disciplining Albania.
