 Multinational forces participate on the amphibious landing as part of Exercise CBRIS 2016. An international exercise designed to increase the ability of allies and partner nations to work together in the Black Sea region. The objective of this exercise is the landing itself, so navigation through the water, going through the techniques, tactics and procedures, and interoperability with the Ukrainians as well. We had Ukrainians aboard the AABs, so teaching them how we do our tactics in these vehicles, learning from them, from their equipment, and how can they learn from us. It's always good to get out here with our guys and do our training, get our repetitions in, but it's duly better to get out here with foreign countries, build relationships and share experiences with each other. So it's always good to get out here with everybody and do some volatile training because it builds fostered good relationships, especially in this region. The purpose of this exercise is to strengthen interoperability among allied nations through a series of tactical maneuvers and scenarios.
