In a statement during the press conference, General Bradshaw said,
‘This exercise takes place every year, and demonstrates the ability of EUFOR to both conduct Peace Support Operations alongside the Armed Forces of Bosnia and Herzegovina, and to bring additional personnel from EUFOR nations into the Exercise’
In the long term planning of this exercise, Manjaca was chosen as it has an area large enough to both accommodate the soldiers taking part, and allow space for the Exercise itself’
