 We're Golden XIV Act soldiers, guests, dobererana. Good morning. Today at the beginning of rapid Trident 14, I would like to give my warm thanks to our exercise host Ukraine. On behalf of Lieutenant General Campbell, the commander of U.S. Army in Europe, I would like to say thank you because the U.S. Army appreciates the opportunity to train with our hosts and with the other nations participating here at the International Peacekeeping Center and Yavarov Ukraine. Over the past year, Ukraine has set the highest of standards and supported by dedicated planners from our partner countries has set the conditions for excellent training. Over the next two weeks, I look forward to working with our Ukrainian hosts and the other countries represented here participating in the exercise. In the spirit of friendship and partnership, 15 nations will work together in performing many tasks to improve our interoperability and to strengthen our mutual trust. It was a great honor for me to serve as co-director with Golden XIV Act. We're both here to enable your success in training and to enable the overall success of the event. Participants, fellow soldiers, welcome again. I wish you a successful exercise. May our partnership and friendship last for many years. Thank you. Thank you.
