 First, Lieutenant Horace and his team are among many Marines of the Georgian liaison team participating in the mission rehearsal exercise to prepare U.S. Marines and Georgian soldiers to be forward deployed. My team's responsibility is to assist and advise Georgian light infantry company in any way possible and to serve as a liaison between the Georgian company and any U.S. units that they may work with. During this training we've been conducting dismounted and mounted patrols, keyler engagements and counter ID training. Line 1, 1-1-4. This experience has been very exciting and fun thus far. I feel that the officers are very intelligent and competent. The Staff NCOs and NCOs are very strong and the soldiers themselves are very willing, talented and motivated. I feel that the team as a whole has built a great rapport and long-standing relationship with the Georgians and NCO paid dividends for the rest of our deployment. Reporting from Hoentfels, Germany, I'm Corporal Taylor Strick.
