Battle Group Poland's two new contingents combined forces with the rest of the Battle Group: the Romanian Land Forces Iron Cheetahs and British Army's Black Horse Troop.

"This has been a great opportunity to learn more about working in a joint environment," Romanian Land Forces 1st Lt. Andrei Savaniu, Iron Cheetahs platoon leader said.

"It is really important for the Black Horse Troop to be able to integrate with our NATO Allies as it is the way that we prove our credibility and enable us to demonstrate the capabilities we have," British Army Major William Roome, Black Horse Troop commander said. "We are trying to demonstrate cohesion, the way we stick together and work together. And we are demonstrating the capabilities we bring to bear during this multinational exercise."

The Battle Group Commander, U.S. Army Lt. Col. Craig Boyles, echoed the sentiment: "The idea is to practice combining all our arms in order to strengthen interoperability. What we are doing is synchronizing all of our fires in time, space, purpose and resources. This demonstrates we are stronger together because just one of us really is not as capable and as lethal as all of us."
