U.S. TO PARTICIPATE IN BRAVE EAGLE '97

Soldiers from the U.S., Denmark, Finland, Hungary and Poland will participate in a combined peacekeeping exercise called Brave Eagle 1997 which will be conducted Sept. 8-19, 1997, at the Drasko Pomorskie military training facility area near Karwice, Poland.

The exercise, which is being conducted in the spirit of Partnership for Peace, will be a computer-assisted command post exercise structured to train a multinational brigade in conducting peacekeeping operations.

The goals of the exercise are to promote Partnership for Peace through development of a common understanding of peace support operations, and to enhance military interoperability by training commanders and staffs in the staff procedures required to conduct multinational peace support operations with differently equipped, organized and doctrinally oriented units.
