Recon and Community Engagement Patrol

The International Stabilisation Force (ISF) has begun preparations for the Marine Exercise 2011 (MAREX) by identifying possible locations to hold military training.

During August, members of Anzac Company’s reconnaissance platoon are engaging members of communities to seek support for future land use.

The platoon has already plotted suitable land locations, and undertaken key leadership engagement tasks in various districts to help limit any impact the training may have on those living close by.

MAREX is a multi-national annual exercise comprising the F-FDTL, the US Marine Corps and the ISF personnel to reinforce skills in jungle and urban warfare.
