It has been a unique opportunity to test our operational and logistic procedures in preparation for the NRF responsibility. The two week exercise tested NRDC-ITA’s ability to conduct operations in response to an unexpected crisis and saw the Headquarters dealing with a range of problems across the military, political, economic and social spectrums. In meeting this challenging scenario, designed to replicate the complex contemporary environment, the Headquarters planned the use of a wide variety of military capabilities including electronic warfare, special forces and CIMIC units.
