 During this training exercise, my Marines and sailors in the Finnish military have conducted detainee handling, IA drills and battle drills, casualty care, and basic fire maneuver in an on-line fire situation. The integration with the Finnish military has been seamless. They operate at a varsity level. Training like this has offered the US the opportunity to foster and and develop lasting bonds and relationships with a very strong and capable nation such as Finland. This exercise paves the way for future training with the Finnish military and once again proves that the US Marine Corps can fight in any climate place.
