 Ohio National Guard builds partnerships at Platinum Wolf By Senior Master Sgt. Elizabeth Holliker
                Ohio National Guard
 SOUTH BASE, Serbia - Nearly 45 members of the Ohio National Guard's 838th Military Police Company arrived in the Republic of Serbia on June 10 to participate in exercise Platinum Wolf. The two-week, multinational peacekeeping exercise will bring 10 nations together to enhance military cooperation and interoperability at Serbia's South Base and Borovac Training Area, June 11 - 22. The full-scale exercise, led by Serbian Armed Forces, will allow the Ohio National Guard's military police, along with more than 45 members of the Tennessee National Guard's 269th Military Police Company, to train alongside and develop partnerships and mutual understanding between partner nations including, the United Kingdom, United Arab Emirates, Slovenia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Montenegro, Romania, Bosnia and Herzegovina. The training event kicked off Monday with the official opening ceremonies, where approximately 550 military personnel participated in an open ranks inspection and listened as Col. Slobodan Stopa , 4th Army Brigade Commander, welcomed and thanked the partnering nations and highlighted the exercise objectives. "Since 2014, we have conducted the multinational training exercise called Platinum Wolf every year and the experience we have gained so far is very positive," said Stopa. "Considering that we carry out the exercise in a multinational environment, it is an excellent opportunity for the members of partner nations' armed forces to gain and exchange new experiences." Throughout the two-week event, participants will conduct hands-on training share best practices and execute a full-scale exercise incorporating tactics in Military Operations on Urban Terrain, or MOUT; civil security and operations; public law and order; crowd and riot control and use of non-lethal weapons. "Exercises like Platinum Wolf are a terrific opportunity to enhance our partnerships, professionally, while also building personal friendships," said Capt. Carl Roberts, Ohio National Guard operations exercise planner. "Training together, with 10 other nations, brings out the best in our Soldiers, fostering readiness and reinforcing field craft. From a strategic perspective, it builds key competencies, expands cultural tolerance and shapes regional stability. Tactically, our cross-training efforts capitalize on lessons learned, while aligning seamlessly with the Ohio National Guard assistant adjutant general's imperatives and conviction to ‘Fight Tonight,' any time, and literally, anywhere." As part of the Department of Defense State Partnership Program, the Ohio National Guard established a partnership with the Republic of Serbia more than a decade ago, in 2006. Throughout the 12-year partnership, Ohio and Serbia have worked together to enhance joint training opportunities, averaging approximately 20 events annually, in turn, building cultural understanding and promoting regional stability in support of security cooperation goals.
