The initiative, which consists of a series of engineering construction projects, advances the ongoing efforts of Atlantic Resolve commenced following Russian intervention in Ukraine in 2014; the militaristic actions of which have been considered a potential threat to the economic, militaristic and political ties manifested in the alliances formed through North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the European Union. The Final Planning Conference represents the culmination of many months of planning, which will contribute heavily to furthering the initiative of Atlantic Resolve, and its tenets of interoperability, allied assurance and deterrence of aggression by parties with interests counter to those of NATO, the EU, and the United States.
Representatives from the U.K. Royal Engineers, the Romanian Armed Forces, United States Army Reserves, the South Carolina National Guard, the North Carolina Army National Guard, the Navy Sea Bees, and ODCSENG convened in their final meeting prior to the initiation of Resolute Castle 2017. The mission is to be conducted in such a way that units, i.e. brigade staff, battalion staff and companies, from the aforementioned contingents will deploy, arrive and operate in the span of 21 day rotational cycles. Their projects, the details of which were finalized at the Final Planning Conference, have been assigned to specific units based upon their unique and distinctive skillsets. An example of this dynamic can be understood through the NCARNG’s, and their subordinate element: 882nd Vertical Engineer Company, task to construct breach facilities, which will be used for training in forcible entry via physical or explosive force.
The planning conference’s conclusion left all involved parties with a more solidified understanding of the Resolute Castle 2017 Initiative, a deeper comradery amongst the diverse unit representation, and a vision for successful interoperability; all of which lend to the ultimate goal of Atlantic Resolve: “U.S. commitment to collective security through a series of actions designed to reassure NATO allies and partners of America's dedication to enduring peace and stability in the region in light of the Russian intervention in Ukraine.”
