Two acres of tents serve as temporary quarters for the joint task force participating in Exercise SHARED ACCORD 2010 here, July 31. The team, comprised largely of reserve Marines, began arriving at Moamba's largest military base, July 29. During the exercise, which is scheduled to begin Aug. 3, U.S. service members will work alongside FADM soldiers in an exchange of information and knowledge. SHARED ACCORD is an annual, scheduled, bi-lateral field training exercise aimed at conducting small unit infantry and staff training with partner nations for the purpose of peace and stability operations. This year’s SA is being hosted by Mozambique. The exercise is scheduled to conclude Aug. 13. All U.S. forces will return to their home bases in Europe and the U.S. at the end of the exercise.
