YEREVAN, May 10 (RIA Novosti) - A 13-day NATO exercise involving more
than a thousand military communications specialists from 42 nations
has finished in Armenia Thursday.
Combined Endeavor 2007 is a U.S. European Command-sponsored
exercise that brings NATO, Partnership for Peace (PfP) and other
nations together to practice interoperability of command, control,
communications and computer systems from participating nations
in preparation for future combined humanitarian, peacekeeping and
disaster relief operations.
"As we round up the exercise, we can say that the regular multinational
exercise was held at a high professional and organizational level,
achieving its objectives," said Armen Baburyan, the head of the
department of communications and computer-aided systems at Armenia's
General Staff.
This year, Armenia, as a primary operational zone, hosted military
delegations from Croatia, France, Russia, Georgia and the United
States, while the rest of the participants operated out of Baumholder,
Germany.
Armenia has been a full participant in the exercises for the last five
years and is expected to become the main host country for Combined
Endeavor starting in 2008.
Combined Endeavor began in 1995 as a simple effort to bring NATO and
former Warsaw-pact countries together under the auspices of Partnership
for Peace, and has been held annually since then.
This year's war games started April 27.
