 My name is Lieutenant Colonel Kevin M. Ward. I am the commander of 2nd Battalion 503rd Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 173rd Airborne Brigade. Rock Clashman 2 is an exercise that we're conducting with here in Slovenia at Poček. It began with a joint forceful entry where we conducted an airborne assault onto an airfield and seized our initial objectives. We then moved out here to the training area here in Poček, and since then we've been conducting platoon live fires and individual platoon sticks training. The overall objective of Rock Clashman is focused on platoon components, platoon maneuver and mastery of all of the training objectives at the platoon level. That is the primary focus, so ultimately we're seeking to maximize the ability of a platoon to maneuver, close with and destroy the enemy. So we're focused on all these platoon tasks, but ultimately the most important thing that we're learning here is how to work together as a team. There's been a lot of leader toner over in the summer. There's a lot of new paratroopers, and so we're coming here and there's no better environment than here right now during a live fire to learn how to work with each other as a team. And with every single exercise that we conduct, every single iteration that we conduct on this live fire, we're getting better at working as a team, as platoon teams. Well this is a great training area. It allows us a lot in terms of our ability to employ a diverse amount of weapon systems, a large area to maneuver around in. But most importantly, it allows us an opportunity to work with our Slovenian partners. So the 74th Infantry Regiment is out here right now and we're working side by side with them. They're assisting us in running this live fire range, providing safeties and oversight. And we're finding opportunities to train with them every day in terms of learning their tactics, learning how we can work with them as a partner. So that is the most important part of training out here in Poczek.
