00:06.160 --> 00:08.440
- [Max] The Ohio National
Guard has fostered

00:08.440 --> 00:11.040
a 12-year long State Partnership Program

00:11.040 --> 00:13.210
with the Serbian Armed Forces.

00:13.210 --> 00:16.110
This dedication of partnership
has led to a variety

00:16.110 --> 00:17.660
of exercise and training events

00:17.660 --> 00:19.920
that have strengthened both nations.

00:19.920 --> 00:22.980
Platinum Wolf 2019 is a shining example

00:22.980 --> 00:26.130
of the interoperability of
the Ohio National Guard,

00:26.130 --> 00:29.140
and participating members
of Operation Platinum Wolf,

00:29.140 --> 00:30.700
and their willingness to work together

00:30.700 --> 00:33.060
to achieve common security goals.

00:33.060 --> 00:35.710
Operation Platinum Wolf 2019 consisted

00:35.710 --> 00:37.940
of many different
training events featuring

00:37.940 --> 00:41.500
the Ohio National Guard's
838th Military Police Company

00:41.500 --> 00:42.940
from Youngstown, Ohio.

00:42.940 --> 00:46.200
Platinum Wolf consisted of
urban operations training,

00:46.200 --> 00:48.480
foot patrols, weapon ranges,

00:48.480 --> 00:50.740
non-lethal training, and much more.

00:50.740 --> 00:53.640
These areas of training
helped not just to strengthen

00:53.640 --> 00:56.040
the 838th Military Police Company

00:56.040 --> 00:57.940
but also worked to create a dialogue

00:57.940 --> 01:00.810
between many nations for
future cooperability.

01:00.810 --> 01:03.740
- Well, one big takeaway
is being able to work

01:03.740 --> 01:05.170
with other countries,

01:05.170 --> 01:08.550
seeing how other people do
the same kind of training

01:08.550 --> 01:10.650
is a great, it's a great asset.

01:10.650 --> 01:13.200
- [Max] Platinum Wolf is
a multi-national exercise

01:13.200 --> 01:14.980
that has provided the perfect medium

01:14.980 --> 01:17.260
for communication between nations

01:17.260 --> 01:19.410
through training and through
their soldiers learning

01:19.410 --> 01:22.380
the best practices and
principles from each other.

01:22.380 --> 01:26.340

Public Affairs Detachment,
