U.S. soldiers check local villagers as they go through the food distribution lane run by the Royal Nepal Army.
Each of six countries shown in the chart was responsible for planning and executing its lane. Each country contributed an infantry platoon and a set of lane controllers. They also provided three to four personnel who mastered the tasks for their lane, developed a scenario, and set up the lane for the platoons to rotate through.
The lane controllers arrived nearly a week early to set up their lane and to work with a Bangladesh Army platoon that demonstrated the tasks for the participating platoons and acted as role players within each lane. Each Bangladesh platoon became expert on the tasks exercised in its lane.
Sri Lankan soldiers clear a building.
Nepalese military instructors construct the food distribution lane before the beginning of the exercise.
