BAVARIA, IT’S TIME FOR YOUR RADIO NEWS.
SABER JUNCTION 16 IS A U.S ARMY EUROPE TRAINING SCENARIO TAKING PLACE AT THE HOHENFELS TRAINING AREA. SABER JUNCTION’S DESIGNED TO EVALUATE AND ASSES THE READINESS OF THE U.S ARMY AND PROMOTE INTEROPERABILITY WITH ALLIED AND PARTNER NATIONS. WITH NEARLY 5,000 PARTICIPANTS FROM 12 NATO COUNTRIES, I CANT HELP BUT IMAGINE THE CHALLENGES OF PLANNING SUCH A MASSIVE EXERCISE.
SB: CPT MATTHEW PRIDE
ONE OF THE GREAT CHALLENGES I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT BEING A PLANNER AT JMRC IS REALLY UNDERSTANDING THE UNIQUE CAPABILITIES OUR ALLIES AND PARTNERS BRING TO THE TABLE. YOU KNOW, COMING HERE YOU FEEL VERY CONFIDENT AND VERY WELL VERSED IN YOUR OWN DOCTRINE BUT HAVING TO UNDERSTAND THAT VAST ARRAY OF CAPABILITIES OF OUR PARTNERS AND ALLIES IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE GREAT CHALLENGES.
THAT’S THE LEAD PLANNER OF SABER JUNCTION 16, JMRC’S OWN CPT MATTHEW PRIDE. NOW, WE KNOW TRAINING EXERCISES HAPPEN ALL THE TIME, SO WHAT MAKES THIS ONES CHALLENGES UNIQUE?
SB: CPT MATTHEW PRIDE
OBVIOUSLY THE AIRBORNE PIECE TO IT ALL. IT’S A COMPLEX PROBLEM SET ENOUGH WHEN YOU TRY TO BRING DIFFERENT CAPABILITIES. WHAT CONSTITUTES A PROBLEM ON A DROPZONE FOR ONE NATION MIGHT BE VERY DIFFERENT FOR ANOTHER NATION. SABER JUNCTION GIVES A DIFFERENT FLAVOR TO THE AIRBORNE SIDE OF JOINT FIGHTING AND COMBINED FIGHTING SO THAT’S ONE OF THE BIG DIFFERENCES HERE.
