The Theatre Equipment Support Battalion recently held an Interoperability Exercise (IOX) at Camp Bastion, Afghanistan. It was a high profile event attended by UK, U.S, Danish, and Estonian participants and by members of the Afghan National Army (ANA).
The exercise demonstrated how vehicles are recovered during Combat Logistic Patrols (CLPs) in the event of breakdown, being bogged down or being disabled by enemy action. CLP’s are often a multi-national affair; hence the requirement to recover vehicles is essential. This exercise was an opportunity to demonstrate multi-national procedures and ensure compliance between the different nations.
