 The important thing is the demonstration of the relationship between the United States and North Macedonia. The exercise like this one really demonstrates to both our countries and to the world and our NATO allies how strong this relationship is and how we are there to support each other. The venue for Brave Partner is North Macedonia to deployment was quick, but proving that we can do it quick and then integrating a live fire just increases the realism and the readiness to make sure that we can deliver a combat-ready troop fully capable and then setting those conditions for the squad live fire they've been going through these both day and night. It gives the soldiers confidence in their weapon systems and then it gives the leaders the ability to synchronize fire and maneuver with all the weapon systems available to them and assets available to the troop like the 120 millimeter mortars using their squad designated marksmen to provide that precision fire from a distance and then the squad organic weapons systems to include the drill game and then the ICV chain as well. Out here we're conducting a squad live fire, a lot with attached assets like 81 millimeter mortars as well as vehicles. We prep the objective with our vehicles, our mortars, which simulate really good training for the squad and the team leaders on how they would actually assault an objective. So interacting with post-nation, they've been extremely polite. We're doing our training, they'll come out, they're observed, they'll come ask us questions and it allows us to explain our profession as well as our craft and take pride in our work. Anytime you get the chance to train in unfamiliar territory, it's always just a pleasure just to work with that see how other people do it so that way you can always refine your craft and constantly improve yourself. I always find a way to make the best of it and try to get the best training value out of it as I can. I learned something new every iteration we do, keeping my cool in very stressful situations. We take it serious but at the same time we go out there and enjoy it. I think we've learned a lot in working with the host nation, both their forces and just their range systems. It's a phenomenal training area and the Army of the Republic of North Macedonia has been very accommodating to us in understanding kind of how they conduct training and then telling them how we conduct ours. It was just really powerful to feel the full might of every headquarters at Echelon above us kind of align the stars for us to get here so quickly and we got it in a very rapid fashion and it was exactly what we wanted so it built a lot of our confidence at Echelon all the way up to Yusra. Which was pretty incredible.
