 More than a dozen nations are taking part in the Ukraine-U.S. hosted exercise, Sea Breeze-16, to enhance security and interoperability in the Black Sea region. The main objective of Sea Breeze-2016 is to bring the Black Sea partners together on a platform where they can practice and exercise operations together to help improve their interoperability and ultimately improve maritime security operations in the Black Sea region. Sea Breeze combines air, land, maritime and amphibious forces working together in a number of mission areas. Moldavian forces will be trained to conduct these kind of actions and will really increase our capabilities and readiness. The exercise is divided into a unit-level phase followed by scenario-driven operations testing interoperability of forces across many warfare areas. From this exercise I want to understand and also to develop my knowledge how exercises are planned, conducted and assessed. From Odessa, Ukraine, I'm Petty Officer Kelby Sanders.
