00:12.540 --> 00:15.310
uh huh , maintaining calm and a safe

00:15.310 --> 00:17.880
environment is just one scenario in

00:17.890 --> 00:20.220
eager Lion , an annual exercise

00:20.220 --> 00:22.250
designed around irregular warfare

00:23.840 --> 00:26.270
activities involving all aspects of

00:26.270 --> 00:29.590
civil and military capability . Things

00:29.590 --> 00:31.590
like taking care of internationally

00:31.590 --> 00:34.170
displaced persons in a refugee camp

00:34.180 --> 00:37.600
like this . It's a very good idea . We

00:37.610 --> 00:40.620
are locating unfortunately , in a

00:40.630 --> 00:43.760
turbulent uh area

00:44.540 --> 00:47.700
and we have to be prepared and we have

00:47.700 --> 00:50.380
to be to put our contingency plans to

00:50.380 --> 00:53.800
deal with such situations . Eager Lion

00:53.800 --> 00:55.911
is hosted by the Hashemite kingdom of

00:55.911 --> 00:58.022
Jordan in conjunction with US Central

00:58.022 --> 01:00.189
Command's Special Operations Command .

01:00.189 --> 01:03.560
Three week event is a big deal .

01:04.240 --> 01:06.300
The goal is to connect military

01:06.300 --> 01:09.260
partners and enhance interoperability

01:10.640 --> 01:12.830
right ? Because eager Lion is being

01:12.830 --> 01:15.052
conducted by Special Operations Command

01:15.052 --> 01:17.163
Central , A lot of the training can't

01:17.163 --> 01:19.380
be caught on camera . But what is

01:19.380 --> 01:21.430
visible is the strengthening of

01:21.430 --> 01:23.763
relationships back up and squeeze it in .

01:23.763 --> 01:26.100
Participants represent 19 countries

01:26.100 --> 01:28.260
from five continents , approximately

01:28.260 --> 01:30.320
12,000 military personnel are in

01:30.320 --> 01:32.560
attendance . I think the real payoff is

01:32.560 --> 01:34.470
in the fact that will develop

01:34.480 --> 01:36.480
partnerships and relationships that

01:36.480 --> 01:38.591
will put us in good stead . Should we

01:38.591 --> 01:40.480
ever have to work together in the

01:40.480 --> 01:42.424
future ? Eager Lion has been three

01:42.424 --> 01:44.680
years in the planning coordination is

01:44.680 --> 01:47.530
ongoing for next year's exercise Gil

01:47.530 --> 01:49.940
Mccabe Jordan . Yeah ,
