The Austrian Defense Ministry official says the first contingent to return home will be support staff, meaning the observation posts normally staffed by Austrian troops will continue to be manned for now.
The official spoke on condition of anonymity today, saying his information is not officially authorized to be made public. He did not say how many peacekeepers would be withdrawn tomorrow.
Austria announced last week that it would remove its peacekeepers from the 911-member UN force after Syrian fighting spilled over into a nearby border position.
Croatia withdrew in March amid fears its troops would be targeted.
