BAUMHOLDER, Germany (May 12, 2008) - Regardless if military communication specialists are participating in their 14th Combined Endeavor communications interoperability exercise or their very first, their achievements, simple or complex, are crucial for the continued development of the craft of military communications for their nations and coalitions.
"When nations come to Combined Endeavor, they bring their best and brightest communicators," said U.S. Army Lt. Col. James Pugh, CE 08 exercise director. "We bring together people in a secure, low pressure environment to work out serious technical challenges. The reason we do this is no nation deploys anywhere in the world as a single entity. There's always a partner nation there."
