The 16 participants
were Australia, Bangladesh, Brunei, Cambodia, France (FANC -French Armed
Forces in New Caledonia), India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Mongolia,
Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and the
United States. While only certain countries brought aircraft to participate
in the field training exercise, all participants took part in the command
post exercise.
The command post
exercise examined the processes needed to develop effective and sustainable
coalition humanitarian airlift operations. The field training exercise
involved a disaster relief scenario on two islands north of Guam
Tinian and Saipan. The two exercises ran concurrently in support of
the same scenario.
