The exercise spans multiple locations in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia and involves approximately 2,000 troops from 14 countries. The exercise trains participants on command and control as well as interoperability with regional partners and consists of a brigade-level command post exercise and computer assisted exercise, as well as company-level field and situational training exercises. It also features the integration of U.S. close air support (CAS) with partner nation ground forces and the demonstration of U.S. Expeditionary Medical Support (EMEDS) capability. This theater security cooperation exercise provides commanders and their staffs practical experience in organizing, controlling and supporting coalition operations and allows the United States, NATO and participating nations to demonstrate their own roles in contributing regional and global stability by strengthening international military partnerships, enhancing multinational interoperability and preparing participants for worldwide contingency operations. == Saber Strike 2011 == Saber Strike 2011 was the first of what will be an ongoing cooperative training effort between the four nations bonded by the War in Afghanistan and is intended to increase the combat readiness of forces preparing to deploy in support of the ISAF.
