 A key part of the harbour phase was the relationship building that has come about as all of the nations come together on Marine Corps Base Hawaii. This is actually the first time I've got to work with partner nations so RIMPAC is definitely good for sharing those TTPs and just kind of spreading the knowledge for this along the Allied forces that we have. So this was anything from ground air integration training where soldiers gained familiarity with the platforms they'd be using to insert later in the exercise. Like anything, doing new things with new people. There was a bit of friction at first however this was quickly overcome and we could move on to the valuable part of the exercise which was learning how we all do things differently. Taking advantage of the fact that we had such different experiences and different capabilities and learning how to apply them towards the same problem.
