    Tourists shop and relax in a courtyard of Pocitelj, Bosnia and Herzegovina, June 3 during the Shared Resilience 2012 Cultural Day tour. Locals built the village and fort in the late 14th century and used it for a short period as a military garrison. The tour participants could walk through the town's courtyards and meander through winding stairways leading to a bastion overlooking the village. The local Commission to Preserve National Monuments decided to add this site as a Bosnia-Herzegovina national monument in 2000. More than 500 military members from nine nations are participating in SR12, the annual U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff sponsored exercise, May 28 - June 8. The goals of the exercise are to strengthen interoperability, facilitate training in crisis response and disaster management, and validate the readiness of deployable military medical and humanitarian assistance teams. The exercise, in the spirit of partnership for peace, directly supports U.S. European Command's theater cooperation efforts and strategy for active security with European countries.
