 As the forces of freedom converge on a remote area of Poland, Saber Strike 15 comes to a close. An important multinational exercise, many dignitaries were on hand to witness the showing of force. The exercise has been making headlines worldwide with more than a dozen countries participating. Saber Strike was a phenomenal exercise. We had over 6,000 soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines from 14 nations operating in four different countries at six training sites simultaneously. Very complex. Part show of force, part action movie. Top military leaders were on hand to observe joint capabilities in action. The message is that nobody is alone, especially in this part of the world. That's kind of a feeling that countries like Poland as well as Baltic states, they are together with their alliance. With new friendships forged and alliances sharpened, Saber Strike 16 is sure to be full throttle. Saber Strike is on tap for next year and it's integrated into our Anaconda 16 training platform. We are standing tall together, standing strong together, and we know that we will be there for each other. Although the exercise ends, the partnerships continue. From Saber Strike 15 in Drowsko-Promorskie, Poland, I'm Senior Airman Stephen Adkins.
