The 126th Press Camp Headquarters set up work stations at the Land Forces Training Center's main building, May 31, 2018, in preparation for Saber Strike 18.
Saber Strike is a US Army Europe-led training event designed to enhance partnerships between the U.S. and neighboring countries in the Baltic states.
'The 126th PCH made the trip to Poland in order to provide media coverage for the training exercise. This is the first full-unit mission that the PCH has supported in almost ten years.
“This is a great opportunity for our soldiers that have never traveled overseas to expand their capabilities and gain some real world training experience,” said Maj. Charles Calio, executive officer for the 126th PCH.
The unit started training over six months ago, receiving brand new equipment to enhance their photo and video capabilities in the field.
Saber Strike 18 is the eighth iteration of the long-standing US Army Europe-led cooperative training exercise designed to enhance interoperability among allies and regional partners.
