Saber Guardian 2019
We were delighted to have been invited to a week-long exercise with the NATO battle groups at Saber Guardian in Romania; where our Heavy Ground Mobility System operated in support of a Wet Gap Crossing at the Danube River crossing site in Bordusani, Romania.
The co-led Romanian and US exercise saw the 141st Manoeuvre Enhancement Brigade mission command the crossing operation which included support from the Romanian Engineer Battalion and the 50th Multi-Role Bridge Company.
The Heavy Ground Mobility System was partnered with Rheinmetall MAN Military Vehicles’ (RMMV) HX77, which expediently laid our M150 Trackway® to provide ground stability and access points to the shore.
Exercise Saber Guardian has been organised since 2013, being hosted on a rotational basis by Bulgaria, Romania and Ukraine with a view of increasing interoperability at joint and multinational levels with the allied and partner states’ armed forces.
We were proud to play a role in such a prestigious exercise following their participation at Saber Strike 2018 in Poland; and grateful for the cooperation provided by the DIT DSO Export Support Team.
