again the helicopters from the 95
Base, which executed a MEDEVAC
mission, evacuating the wounded
from the battle field, action that
completed the exercise.
For the Romanian military,
trainings in mountainous areas
are a regular task. But for the
US Marines the simulation
was a novel experience that
gave them the opportunity to
learn new things and share
their knowledge. „Many of the
Marines learned from Romanian
Mountain Rangers rock climbing
techniques and modern methods
of free climbing and rappelling,
funicular transport of wounded
and military equipment. They also
taught us mechanized infantry
tactics. We showed them our
method of engagement by sharing
methods of conducting fire and
maneuver,” said Captain Matthew
Deffenbaugh, Weapons Company
Commander, 2d Battalion, 2d
Marines, Black Sea Rotational
Force.
The last day of the BSRF brought
together all the participants, this
time not for training, but for a
cultural program that showed
them some of the attractions
of Bukovina: Cacica Salt Mine,
Moldovita Monastery and the
International Painted Eggs
Museum from Moldovita.
