Saber Strike is the first of what will be an ongoing cooperative training effort between four partner nations and is intended to increase the combat readiness of forces preparing to deploy in support of the ISAF.
The exercise includes a Command Post Exercise, a Field Training Exercise and Situational Training Exercises that are aimed at training the participating countries to operate more effectively together. The tasks trained in this exercise are specifically designed to prepare the troops for operations in Afghanistan and include Improvised Explosive Device defeat training, convoy and patrol operations, and cordon and search operations.
The exercise is not only a training opportunity, but also a sign of the importance of the relationship among the participating nations.
