ARRC salutes flags of joining Estonia, Sweden, and Poland
A national flag raising ceremony at Imjin Barracks on Wednesday honoured the arrival of three new participating member nations. This October, Estonia, Poland, and Sweden has sent officers to join the permanent staff of Headquarters Allied Rapid Reaction Corps.
“Today marks a very special day in the history of the ARRC with the addition of these three nations. Their commitment is very welcome and a testament to the solidarity and success of a multinational approach to collective defence,” said Lt. Gen. Tim Evans, CBE DSO, commander of the ARRC.
“I enjoy the working culture the different nationalities. And every nation has something to offer that helps in understanding the HQ,” said Lt. Col. Pukk, a new plans officer from Tallinn.
Referring to Exercise ARRCADE FUSION 2015, Pukk said “This is important to Estonia because we are united with NATO and happy the HQ ARRC will be in the Baltic States.”
“In my short time here I have seen how all the nations work. Everyone works toward the same effort to develop a good plan that will work in everyone’s interest,” said Maj. Larbol, from Stockholm, Sweden
“Poland and the UK have a strong history. We are following similar priorities and values which are to ensure peace and stability,” said the Polish Army officer.
The additions mark a significant step in one of the most diverse, multi-national headquarters of the 9 NATO Rapid Deployable Corps HQs, all of which are capable to command up to 60,000 troops. This year the ARRC remains on standby as a Joint Task Force HQ for Small Land Operations, ready if called upon by the North Atlantic Council (NAC) and SACEUR. Currently, the ARRC is preparing for their annual training Exercise ARRCADE FUSION 2015 in the Baltics. Two more nations are scheduled to become permanent members of ARRC before the end of the year.

I enjoy flickr for so many reasons. One of them is about the people here. We make friends and continue to get to know them through their photos.
I've already expressed that I hope I can influence my grandaughter's appreciation of Nature.
This flag flies at our camp. Katherine looks at it and in her tiny, 2 year old voice,says,"That's Old Glory, My flag!"
I am a very patriotic person. I place my hand on my heart during our national anthem ,I get goosebumps when I listen to marching bands playng John Phillip Sousa marches, and I'm teaching my grandaughter NOT to take her great country for granted!
It's hard to see exactly how far this stretches on beyond the camera, but the field was covered with the Color Gaurd doing this.

Emory University in Georgia has a close relationship with the Tibetan community. They are part of an education exchange that allows monks to study at the university and students to study Buddhism. As a result, they often host events centered around the culture of Buddhism and Tibet. During one such event, the campus had been decorated with Tibetan Buddhist prayer flags. Their colors waving against the campus lawn caught my eye and I had to capture it. I was standing on the upper floor of the museum on campus looking out of the window when I captured this image.
This image was taken in JPG using only the settings in my camera, there was no post-processing or editing.
