for exercise Trident Juncture 2018. The exercise tests the military chain from troop training at

“So, what we see behind us is two casualties, two people down from inhaling acid fumes and so the task of these guys is to extract the casualties and to treat them and to sanitize the whole area afterwards to make it safe for the public.

“It’s interesting to work in a multinational environment because we do a lot of things the same
but we also have a lot of differences and we also have the language barriers to overcome. We
need to work on ways to communicate, to put orders, to put meanings through in a meaningful
manner. That can be challenging but also really rewarding.”
