Transcript follows:
1) Yes of course, it is a great opportunity to prove that we are ready to react at a moment’s notice with all of our personnel, equipment and capabilities. And also to train with other armies in meeting our NATO Allies and learn their procedures and capabilities.
2) My expectations for the exercise are to return to Spain with my unit having improved procedures and also having worked with other nations participating in Steadfast Defender.
3) COVID-19 has had minimum impact in our readiness. We have taken all of the necessary measures ; wearing masks, implementing social distance and adapted our instruction to continue preparing in the same way without the pandemic affecting us.
