Drawsko Pomorskie, Poland — Saber Strike ’18 provided the 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command the opportunity to enhance readiness by establishing a joint air and missile defense operating picture with their Polish Allies.
Chief Warrant Officer 3 Charles Garner, the 10th Army Air and Missile Defense Command Standardization Officer, said this was a first for both the U.S. and Polish Forces.
“The Polish expressed to us that this was the first time establishing a joint common operating picture within their organization or any organization that they know of in their command,” Garner said.
Working with the Polish, Garner and his team configured a joint Link 11 Bravo data link, which established a common operating picture with the U.S. Army Air Defense Systems Integrator, the patriot Information Coordination Central and the patriot fire units, the Polish Surface to Air 3 missile system and Surface to Air Missile Operations Center.
