 From Soldiers Radio and Television, this is the Army Today, a daily feature from around the globe. Maintaining calm in a safe environment is just one scenario in Eager Lion, an annual exercise designed around irregular warfare, activities involving all aspects of civil and military capability, things like taking care of internationally displaced persons in a refugee camp like this. It's a very good idea. We are locating, unfortunately, in a turbulent area, and we have to be prepared and we have to put our contingency plans to deal with such situations. Eager Lion is hosted by the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan in conjunction with U.S. Central Command's Special Operations Command. The three-week event is a big deal. The goal is to connect military partners and enhance interoperability. Because Eager Lion is being conducted by Special Operations Command Central, a lot of the training can't be caught on camera, but what is visible is the strengthening of relationships. Participants represent 19 countries from five continents. Approximately 12,000 military personnel are in attendance. I think the real payoff is in the fact that we'll develop partnerships and relationships that will put us in good stead should we ever have to work together in the future. Eager Lion has been three years in the planning. Coordination is ongoing for next year's exercise. Gail McCabe, Jordan. This is the Army Today from Soldiers Radio and Television.
