 Royal Army soldiers from various bases across Europe and the United Kingdom were to establish a makeshift forward operating base at the Otterburn training area. They face a standard training scenario but one element of this exercise is unique. At Anglico one of our main missions is to integrate with coalition forces. We're able to come over here and provide our TTPs to them as well as learn how they operate so that way when we get into theater and we're working hand-in-hand everything goes a lot smoother. Providing ground commanders with the tails that highlight the capabilities of various air assets gives them the information they need to use those assets to their fullest. What we do is we provide air support and deconfliction of aviation and surface fires providing them the capabilities that the MAGTF brings into Afghanistan with the high Mars artillery and close air support. Also having the voice of an American pilot in their ear provides the ground forces with exactly what they can expect when they're working in Afghanistan. Captain Burncutter and his team will be out in Afghanistan with the regiment that is currently going through exercise platoon sabre and having that face-to-face contact is absolutely invaluable especially at the best command level and the 514 command level where they'll be operating. These joint training opportunities are designed to ensure the participating forces aren't ready for all the challenges they'll face while continuing to work together in Afghanistan and around the world.
