Training for logistics cooperation in Slovakia
====
“Standards, common procedures and compatible equipment are key to interoperability. Without interoperability, there is no effective cooperation in logistics, and that can have an impact on the sustainability of a mission and the effectiveness of forces in combat, particularly in the case of out-of-area operations.”
====
Logisticians from several Allied and partner countries are being put to the test in NATO’s largest-ever logistics exercise from 8 to 26 June. Capable Logistician 2013 is centred around a scenario where NATO-led multinational forces are deployed to a fictitious country to manage a simulated crisis involving inter-ethnic conflict and floods of refugees.
The exercise is providing an opportunity for participants to test and develop collective logistics solutions and to assess the interoperability of their equipment, systems and procedures. Logisticians will then be able to make recommendations to improve the overall interoperability of coalition forces.
Developing interoperability for effective cooperation
“Capable Logistician 2013 is the largest event of its kind in last two decades,” says Col Miroslav Pelikán, Director of the Prague-based Multinational Logistics Coordination Centre (MLCC), which organised the exercise in cooperation with the host nation Slovakia. An international military organisation, the Multinational Logistics Coordination Centre was established in January 2011 following a decision taken by Allies at the 2008 Riga Summit to develop multinational logistics solutions. “Standards, common procedures and compatible equipment are key to interoperability,” says Pelikán. “Without interoperability, there is no effective cooperation in logistics, and that can have an impact on the sustainability of a mission and the effectiveness of forces in combat, particularly in the case of out-of-area operations.”
...
Logistics form the backbone of any military operation and, until very recently, their provision was considered to be a national responsibility. In today's security and economic environment, the need for more mobile forces and multinational operations calls for improved coordination and the pooling of resources in new areas.

US Boosts Military Presence in Jordan after Exercises
WASHINGTON: Along with US with missiles and fighter jets, about 700 US troops will remain in Jordan after training exercises which ended this week, US President Barack Obama said in his letter to the Congress.
The troops and military equipment took part in the Eager Lion exercises in Jordan.
"This detachment that participated in the exercise and remained in Jordan includes Patriot missile systems, fighter aircraft, and related support, command, control, and communications personnel and systems," Obama said in a letter to House of Representatives Speaker John Boehner.
"The deployment of this detachment has been directed in furtherance of U.S. national security and foreign policy interests, including the important national interests in supporting the security of Jordan and promoting regional stability, pursuant to my constitutional authority to conduct U.S. foreign relations," the US president said in his letter.
Jordan, Washington’s longtime ally, sees an inflow of refugees fleeing the ongoing civil war in Syria and possible cross-border missile attacks as a possible threat.
"The detachment will remain in Jordan, in full coordination with the government of Jordan, until the security situation becomes such that it is no longer needed," Obama’s letter reads.
