SOUNDBITES. Warrant Officer 2 Adam SPRINKLE, Apache pilot, A Company, based in Germany.
“This mission is primarily to display our ability not only to rapidly deploy to any point where we are needed, but also to conduct training with multinational ground forces to help ensure all of our NATO partners and allies confidence in not only our abilities but our ability to get to the fight.”
“This helicopter is ideally suited for post combat attack and close air support in missions. We are able to get close to friendly forces and accurately provide munitions where they are needed in support of any ground manoeuvers.”
“Working with the multinational forces is something that this unit has provided and is a very unique opportunity, the ability to work with other countries in a training environment is not something that the US gets as often as we should and as a part of the VJTF our relations with our multinational partners is paramount.”
“Any opportunity that we get to train with our multinational partners especially other members of NATO is a great opportunity for us, because every country operates a little bit differently and building the rapport and the working relationship is an invaluable training point.”
