MARINE CORPS BASE CAMP LEJEUNE, N.C. - Marines with II Marine Expeditionary Force are conducting a Mission Rehearsal Exercise at Camp Lejeune, N.C., and Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, N.C., Aug. 6-12, as part of the MEF's preparation for the NATO-led exercise Trident Juncture 18 in Norway later this year.
The purpose of the rehearsal exercise is to work through staff planning processes, communication procedures, command relationships, and to further refine the deployment details for participating units.
"The MRX is a great opportunity to integrate all the elements of the MEF prior to the actual deployment and execution of the exercise," said Lt. Gen. Robert F. Hedelund, commanding general, II MEF.
Service members from across the Marine Air-Ground Task Force, which includes the MEF's command element, 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade, 2nd Marine Division, 2nd Marine Logistics Group, and 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, are all participating in the MRX.
"We want to ensure every member of our team is prepared for Norway, and for the opportunities and challenges that we'll face during Trident Juncture," said Hedelund. "We want to make sure everyone is confident, and appreciates the significance and importance of our participation in this exercise."
Trident Juncture 18 is part of a planned exercise series to enhance the U.S. and NATO allies' ability to work together collectively to conduct military operations under challenging conditions. II MEF will support the exercise by sending troops and equipment to train with our NATO allies and partners.
