 Two suspects in a black SUV. The driver looks like the guy on the road. Please, hand something out of the car. Hey, we've got another one. Out of the car? Hand it in the back. Like this? Hand on your head. Both? Yes? Do not move. Step back. Go back. Do you want to die? Stop moving. Hey! Hey! Yeah, thank you. Can we talk about that? Don't move. We've got a bomb right here. It's stuck with a bomb. Do you like it? Do you like it? It's on the base. It's in customs. And this on the fire, I'm over. This thing doesn't want. Say again, over. Just engaging the suspects. The two are out of the car. At the... You're coming! You know, I tried to separate the park. They're right there. Knees on your knees. Knees on your ground. So, let's get it to us. Check your hands, sir. Get on your sir. Get up. It's on the base. Please come back to... There's a knife on him. Not English. Behind your head, sir. We're gonna help you. We're gonna help you. Let's go, sir. Hand behind your head. No, English. No. What do they have? What do they do here? No English. I know you understand Pigeon. We're going. Me come visit Germany. You come visit Germany? Yeah. Friends. Friends. Are the castles your friends? Friends. Why do you have knives? My knife. It's me. Me. What is your friend? Friends. Why? Just friends. Why didn't you go to America? Friends.

Why did you bring Fufu? I mean, I got him. He begone. This week, we have been conducting iron castle with the partnership unit that we have with 293rd with the Bundesphere. We have been conducting force protection along the SAF airfield, conducting patrols, searches, identifying any suspicious activities within the patrols. The goal of this exercise is to practice good partnership with our Bundesphere partners to learn from us on how we conduct our force protection as we have learned some of their tactics when we went to Murnau last week. So, the goal of this whole exercise is to further our German counterparts to learn our tactics in our land navigation and our force protection. Just like last week, we just went over to Murnau to learn some of their tactics on how they do some of their training. With these joint trainings, it helps us improve because we don't only just have one site on how we do things, we have multiple people from multiple different nationalities on how they do that on these different types of trainings. So, if we meet them in a different area, we know exactly how they train, how they conduct their tactics. So, with this training exercise, this has improved me greatly because not only have I worked with my own soldiers, but I've also worked with Bundesphere soldiers and how they operate and learned a lot about them, made some friends with them, learned some about their cultures, learned a couple sayings from them, and how they work. So, with joint trainings, I believe that with this, it helps build camaraderie ship. So far with this exercise, my favorite part is actually working with the Germans because you don't get to work with counterparts like these every day, you know. Overall, it was just fun talking to them, learning different things about them. It was just fun. I think the biggest takeaway with this is that we can't always do things on our own. We're always going to need help when doing something like this. And that's why I think working with the Germans was a great takeaway with this whole exercise. I hope that what the Germans take away from this whole exercise is that we're always here to help in case of any emergency if they require any assistance from us. I think it was a great partnership. This week, we're about to do the exercise Iron Castle where we do patrols on the airfield of the 52nd Signal Battalion and we're doing personal and vehicle research. We're doing personal and vehicle research. It's quite exciting every time I'm going here. So last time I was part of a patrol or I was leading a patrol and this time I'm in the ICC so I'm getting a step forward. I'm pushing myself forward and I'm very excited about it. We're building up friendships but also camaraderie. We are splitting up into teams and this team is going on patrol at different areas and they are looking out for some suspicious vehicles, some suspicious packages, some suspicious person. So when I was last year at Iron Castle, the best benefit I got was that I'm improving my skills as a leader in a small squad. This time I will be controlling the ICC so I've got much more responsibility. I've got much more to take care of and I hope I'm doing well and I hope I'm achieving all the goals we set. So the best or the hugest benefit or takeaway I will take with me my whole life or just my soldier life long is that I have the possibility to look behind the scenes and get the different side of how you're planning the ICC or how you're planning the whole exercise, how you're caring about your soldiers and how you improve what you want to go. I hope the Americans had a lot of fun with us. I hope they are impressed what we do in our normal job but what we can do when we are patrolling. They learned some of our skills maybe and I hope they are looking forward to see us next year again.
