Exercise Combined Resolve VI is designed to exercise the U.S. Army’s regionally allocated force to the U.S. European Command area of responsibility with multinational training at all echelons. Approximately 570 participants from 5 NATO and European partner nations will participate. The exercise involves around 500 U.S. troops and 70 NATO and European partner nations. Combined Resolve VI is a preplanned exercise that does not fall under Operation Atlantic Resolve. This exercise will train participants to function together in a joint, multinational and integrated environment and train U.S. rotational forces to be more flexible, agile and to better operate alongside our NATO Allies.

У Німеччині розпочалася активна фаза міжнародних навчань Combined Resolve X
На полігоні поблизу міста Хохенфельц у ФРН розпочалася активна фаза міжнародних навчань Combined Resolve X.
Зведений підрозділ від Збройних Сил України увійшов до складу сил OPFOR. Їх основу складає багатонаціональний батальйон під командуванням представників ЗС США. Окрім американських військовослужбовців, серед наших союзників латвійські, румунські та словенські військові.
На озброєнні батальйону танки Т-84 та М-84 (словенська модернізація танку Т-72), бронемашини «103 Spartan», «MLI-84M», «107 Scimitar» та «БТР-80».
Протилежну сторону BLUEFOR представляють підрозділи ЗС Албанії, Болгарії, Грузії, Польщі та США, які озброєні танками «M1A2 Abrams», бронемашинами «Rosomak», «Bradley» та САУ «Paladin».
На першому етапі активної фази відповідно до легенди маневрів українські підрозділи у складі сил OPFOR відпрацюють дії у наступі. Рота десантників з 79 десантно-штурмової бригади та танковий взвод від 14 окремої механізованої бригади здійснили марш у заданий район. Українські військовослужбовці декілька разів вступали у бій із противником.
Зокрема в ході зіткнень було підбито декілька ворожих танків «Abrams». Без значних втрат зведеному підрозділу ЗС України вдалося дістатися точки призначення. Після цього десантники замінували важливі шляхи сполучення та разом з танкістами влаштували засідку.
Триває активна фаза міжнародних навчань Combined Resolve X. Зведений підрозділ 79 одшбр та 14 омбр в ході наступу зайшов глибоко в тил противника та зайняв оборону поблизу містечка Равенсдорф. На даний час українським військовим вдалося знищити понад 10 одиниць ворожої техніки, серед яких 4 танки "Abrams", 4 бронемашини "Bradley", два вертольоти "Apache" та декілька автомобілів HMMV, а також до 20 чоловік особового складу. З нашого боку втрати склали 1 БТР, 2 танки, та 13 військовослужбовців.
"Вони не очікували що ми так глибоко у їхньому тилу. Ця позиція є дійсно вигідною для нас. План на сьогодні - утримувати позицію і продовжувати дратувати противника" сказав офіцер зв'язку капітан Буртон (ЗС США).
Міжнародні навчання Combined Resolve X: фінальний бій – оборона Убенсдорфа
Завершальною фазою багатонаціональних навчань Combined Resolve X стала оборона імітаційного містечка Убенсдорф силами зведеного підрозділу Збройних Сил України. Українські військові перетворили місто на справжню фортецю: створили декілька ліній перешкод з мінних полів та колючого дроту та приготували до оборони практично кожну будівлю у місті, крім визначених місць для укриття цивільних. Один танк зайняв позицію в місті, інші влаштували засідки за межами населеного пункту для удару з тилу по скупченню техніки противника.
Сили BLUEFOR стягнули до Убенсдорфу батальйонно-тактичну групу на бронемашинах Bradley, Rosomak і автомобілях HMMV та за підтримки артилерії, танків Abrams і вертольотів Apache розпочали штурм.
До початку штурму противник уникав вражати цілі всередині міста, тому артилерійська підготовка та вогонь з вертольотів вівся по його околицях, де, на їхню думку, могли бути влаштовані засідки.
Згодом стало відомо, що командування навчань прийняло рішення не залучати танкові підрозділи обох сторін у боях за Убенсдорф, за виключенням одного Т-84 який вже знаходився у місті. На початку бою він відіграв важливу роль підбивши три бронемашини Bradley та створивши затор на в’їзді до міста. Це змусило командування BLUEFOR проводити подальший штурм піхотинцями без підтримки техніки та відкрити вогонь артилерії по місту щоб знищити український танк. Такі дії призвели до втрат серед мирного населення, чого намагалися уникнути обидві сторони.
Під вогнем українських десантників, за допомогою інженерно-вибухових засобів, піхотинці противника зробили декілька проходів у загородженнях навколо міста та закріпилися на його околицях знищивши два БТР-80. Але при спробі подальшого просування залишки передової штурмової групи були знищені. Втім, за ними підтягнулися основні сили BLUEFOR. Зав’язався вуличний бій.
Завдяки добре налагодженій роботі з місцевим населенням українським військовослужбовцям було відомо про систему підземних комунікацій під містом яка сполучає деякі будівлі. Відтак українські десантники мали змогу безпечно переміщатися між забарикадованими зсередини будівлями не виходячи на поверхню, а противник був змушений з великими втратами штурмувати кожен дім. Загальні втрати сил BLUEFOR понад три роти із п’яти наявних.
– Ми намагаємось тут, у спільному багатонаціональному тренувальному центрі, відтворити реальність бою і показати наскільки бій може бути важким. Я думаю, що солдати які тренувалися сьогодні тут зрозуміли наскільки складним може бути бій у населеному пункті. І українські військові, які грали роль поганих хлопців, провели велику роботу та дійсно відтворили всі труднощі такого бою, – зазначив старший інструктор спільного багатонаціонального тренувального центру підполковник Раєн Вайлі.

A girl stumbled up the path and stood upon the height of the lofty cliff, panting as if after a long run, and gazed about on spectacle displayed before her eyes. The eerie stillness was broken only by the whistling wind, yet there stole slowly upon it the tread of human feet, softly at first, but growing constantly louder and more distinct, 'til it could be clearly heard. Suddenly a soldier burst upon the scene, his silver helmets and spear glistening in the light as he emerged from the woods. Here came another, and another! They approached the path up the cliff, yet she knew her strength was spent, Her heart began to beat rapidly as they climbed. They neared rapidly, it would not be long 'til they reached her. Suddenly an idea flitted through her mind. She thought back for a moment on her past, her father, her mother. Her idea grew into a determination, her determination into resolve - she would not fall into the hands of these men! Gathering her remaining strength for one last tremendous effort, she hurled herself from the cliff into the boiling waters below.
Inspired by Ian Spacek's Myriad. I hope that the story can be connected easily with the music. This was an excellent idea for a contest and probably one of my favorites I have ever participated in!

Impertinent?
Cheeky and audacious to carve out our own good fortune?
Give the Lady leave?

Shall we plot a tale of great adventure?
Leave nothing to chance?

It hasn't been a good month with computer issues to resolve and a camera that has packed up and more worryingly a lot of people around me who seem to be quite ill and at death's door. But those of us who are more lucky should be thankful that we have our health and a bed to sleep in. But when I set up my computer again I noticed how few pictures I had added to my various files in May but I can only say that is probably a good think now summer of sorts is here. The red David Napier top is certainly Jojo's colour and goes very well with my current blond wig and that is certainly something to smile about.
