He said the ability to conduct the live fire with American leaders in attendance was important in order to improve the interoperability of the Battle Group and promote cooperation among the team here.

1st Squadron, 2d Cavalry Regiment Major Donald Huskie, operations officer for eFP BGP, said he was impressed with what he saw and said his Troops were learning from working with their international partners and allies.

“It was awesome,” Huskie said. “For us, it’s looking at how we integrate as international partners and how we integrate as a Battle Group and use all our capabilities and make them into a strength.”

“No other U.S. infantry battalion has a rocket battery and artillery battery assigned to it,” he explained. “It really shows the strength of Nato– all of our different partners being able to work together... bringing our different capabilities and strengths to make us stronger together.”
