(06:33) SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) – COLONEL MICHIEL POSTHUMUS, DEPUTY COMMANDER NETHERLANDS MARITIME FORCE (NLMARFOR)
“Well the Joint Warrior exercises are going on for quite a while but this one is pretty special because it is another scenario. We are looking at a scenario under the Article 5 threshold so there are a variety of challenges posed upon us and we have to act and it’s not the big classic warfighting scenario but it’s probing here and there and it makes it very challenging, very difficult to plan and very difficult to execute but very rewarding if everything goes according to plan.”

“Scotland always provides some challenging situations that are excellent for training. But we are here for our own readiness but also in this bigger NATO exercise in which a number of Allied nations are taking part to train together. We are here with two amphibious ships, helicopters, a battalion of marines, landing craft etcetera etcetera to make this amphibious operation possible here in the northern part of Scotland.”

“We need to stand together as a team, we need to understand each other, we need to train each other and together so that we know what we’re doing and there’s a base of trust as well and that’s very important if we stand together as NATO.”
(07:36) SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) – LIEUTENANT SAMUEL BALOUN, 1st BATTALION SCOTS GUARDS – EXERCISE CONDUCTING OFFICER FOR LAND-BASED PART OF UK EXERCISE JOINT WARRIOR
“I haven’t had that much opportunity to deal with other nations’ forces so it’s been a really, I guess, enlightening opportunity for me to see the Dutch, how they operate, how they train, start to understand the differences between us and it really just makes you want to work with other nations again because it’s such a great, both training opportunity and it’s so essential for how we conduct ourselves in actual operations abroad in the future.”
(08:00) LIEUTENANT SAMUEL BALOUN, 1st BATTALION SCOTS GUARDS – EXERCISE CONDUCTING OFFICER FOR LAND-BASED PART OF UK EXERCISE JOINT WARRIOR
“Working together allows us to have a lot more capabilities than we would by ourselves. That’s absolutely crucial. There’s no point having all these capabilities if we don’t know how to use them and how they’re going to work in the real world so exercises like this allow us to iron out any kinks we may have and actually see how we move forward.”
