Yeah . Mhm .

00:14.340 --> 00:14.750
Yeah .

00:29.640 --> 00:31.751
Hi and welcome to the Desert Vision .

00:31.751 --> 00:33.473
I'm army Sergeant Tim Chadli's

00:33.473 --> 00:35.640
Friendship one offered the opportunity

00:35.640 --> 00:37.751
for long time allies to work together

00:37.751 --> 00:39.973
in the desert of Saudi Arabia here with

00:39.973 --> 00:42.029
more on the story . As army Sergeant

00:42.029 --> 00:43.973
scott kun Friendship one , a joint

00:43.973 --> 00:46.084
training exercise between US Army and

00:46.084 --> 00:48.250
Saudi Arabian Land forces wrapped up

00:48.250 --> 00:50.500
recently at King Khalid Military City

00:50.500 --> 00:52.980
in Saudi Arabia . The exercise was the

00:52.980 --> 00:55.930
first one in 17 years between US and

00:55.930 --> 00:57.840
Saudi Forces . It offered an

00:57.840 --> 00:59.784
opportunity for the two nations to

00:59.784 --> 01:01.840
build stronger relations and for the

01:01.840 --> 01:03.951
two armies to learn from each other .

01:03.951 --> 01:05.896
It's good for the Kingdom of Saudi

01:05.896 --> 01:07.896
Arabia to be able to train with its

01:07.896 --> 01:07.870
partner nations . And it's good for the

01:07.870 --> 01:10.340
United States to strengthen our bonds

01:10.340 --> 01:12.229
of friendship and to increase our

01:12.229 --> 01:14.610
capacity . The brigade level bilateral

01:14.610 --> 01:16.443
force on force exercise included

01:16.443 --> 01:18.277
training in medevac and observer

01:18.277 --> 01:21.910
controller procedures . It culminated

01:21.910 --> 01:23.966
with the Blue forces holding off the

01:23.966 --> 01:26.021
opposition forces during an attack .

01:26.160 --> 01:28.049
The Blue Forces followed up their

01:28.049 --> 01:30.216
defense with a counter attack to drive

01:30.216 --> 01:32.493
the opposition forces out of there . A .

01:32.493 --> 01:34.549
O . R . I think the best thing about

01:34.549 --> 01:36.771
today's exercises is that we got here ,

01:36.771 --> 01:38.993
we had opposing forces crossed the line

01:38.993 --> 01:42.960
of departure , 44 tanks and 20 and 113

01:42.970 --> 01:46.210
facing a combined us Saudi Brigade .

01:46.220 --> 01:48.442
That hasn't happened for 17 years . The

01:48.442 --> 01:50.664
exercise was a big success and planning

01:50.664 --> 01:52.720
for friendship to in 2011 is already

01:52.720 --> 01:55.100
