 My name is Captain John Cuell and I'm here for Baltops 2016. This morning we landed at Huto Island about 0600. We landed as part of a combined landing force. When we came ashore, our primary objective was to secure a beach landing site so that we could bring additional supplies ashore, so we could bring the elk acts ashore, some of our rolling stock, humvees and some other enablers that were coming ashore. We also conducted a link-up with the British Royal Marines. We landed onto the beach on the other side. Had come ashore yesterday in support of our landing operations. Couldn't ask for more from the Marines that I have with me out here and it's been fun to watch them in action relate to not only our partners during the exercise but to perform at an extremely high level professionally.
