USMC JOINT EXERCISE PARTICIPATION - CY 04

• Exercises with USMC participation 38
• Exercises with decreased support 3
• Exercises with no USMC support 7
• Due to OIF/OEF requirements

MARFORPAC / MARCENT TRAINING VALUE

• While the two joint exercises were cancelled in
  CY 04, previous iterations of those exercises
  were key to the operational and tactical
  successes of the forces involved in OIF and OEF.
  Improvements in interoperability, smooth force
  flows, and knowledge of the AOR can be traced
  back to involvement in exercises such as Internal
  Look, Natural Fire, Native Fury, and Bright
  Star.
