00:00.239 --> 00:03.279
My position is commander of the 4th

00:03.279 --> 00:06.519
Brigade Artillery battalion . My role

00:06.519 --> 00:09.170
in the multinational Field Artillery

00:09.170 --> 00:12.850
brigade is to be an observer on the CPX

00:12.850 --> 00:15.420
so that I can be the commander of my

00:15.420 --> 00:18.780
unit on the live exercise . We have

00:18.780 --> 00:22.149
participated in Norway and for

00:22.149 --> 00:25.579
example , Nordic response , and we have

00:25.579 --> 00:28.579
been to Finland and participating in

00:28.579 --> 00:31.500
exercises here as well . And during

00:31.500 --> 00:35.009
this exercise , we are developing our

00:35.009 --> 00:38.959
technical . Interoperability . So we

00:38.959 --> 00:42.159
are using the ASCA , which

00:42.159 --> 00:45.750
is information support system to share

00:45.750 --> 00:48.069
information between our firing units

00:48.069 --> 00:52.040
and battalions and thanks for for

00:52.040 --> 00:55.000
Denmark who is supporting our will to

00:55.000 --> 00:57.520
become full ASCA members . We can do a

00:57.520 --> 01:00.389
lot of tests and it has worked out well .

01:00.919 --> 01:03.830
So far we have had an amazing

01:03.830 --> 01:07.400
experience . You can tell that NATO

01:07.400 --> 01:10.580
have have been an organization for a

01:10.580 --> 01:13.239
long time . It's a very well developed

01:13.239 --> 01:16.900
procedures and it's very easy

01:16.900 --> 01:20.819
to to adapt to the things

01:20.819 --> 01:23.879
and the ways they are using the methods

01:23.879 --> 01:25.990
and the way of leadership and leading

01:25.990 --> 01:29.919
the forces . So it has been over

01:29.919 --> 01:33.279
my expectations and we have been very

01:33.279 --> 01:36.839
warm welcome . Everyone is nice . We

01:36.839 --> 01:40.480
are listening to when we are putting

01:40.480 --> 01:43.519
out proposals . The greatest , the

01:43.519 --> 01:46.110
greatest challenge for us , I think ,

01:46.199 --> 01:49.029
is to understand the core level

01:49.639 --> 01:52.379
because we are a brigade artillery

01:52.379 --> 01:55.480
battalion and in Sweden division is the

01:55.480 --> 01:58.675
highest . So to understand that you're

01:58.675 --> 02:01.845
a small part of something so much

02:01.845 --> 02:04.595
greater , it's you have to change your

02:04.595 --> 02:08.235
perspective and you have to understand

02:08.235 --> 02:11.035
different things and that has been the

02:11.035 --> 02:14.035
challenging part , but I think that our

02:14.035 --> 02:15.955
colleagues in the MFA , they are

02:15.955 --> 02:19.195
helping out and we are getting there

02:19.195 --> 02:22.860
sooner than I would think . I think

02:22.860 --> 02:26.539
it has been quite easy to learn and

02:26.539 --> 02:29.740
adapt to the processes . It's not so

02:29.740 --> 02:32.729
far from the Swedish processes . We use

02:32.729 --> 02:36.619
the same almost terminology . Fires in

02:36.619 --> 02:39.770
every country is similar to each other ,

02:40.110 --> 02:43.039
so it hasn't been difficult , and some

02:43.039 --> 02:45.206
of the tools we are bringing back home

02:45.206 --> 02:47.699
for , I think that some of the tools

02:47.699 --> 02:50.449
helps out a lot in planning the fires .

02:50.949 --> 02:53.929
So far everything has been , like I

02:53.929 --> 02:56.151
said earlier , beyond my expectations .

02:56.690 --> 03:00.449
We have been very well welcomed . We

03:00.449 --> 03:03.149
understand our mission and our task ,

03:04.089 --> 03:07.729
and I think this is a very good

03:07.729 --> 03:10.169
exercise for us , and we're feeling

03:10.169 --> 03:10.800
like we are .
