"Exercise ARRCade Spear II aims to offer recruits training ahead of their work as part of NATO's International Security Assistance Force." [22]

Shortly afterward, "328 soldiers, including 45 teams from the full-time British Army, UK Territorial Army teams and entrants from foreign armies" took part in Exercise Cambrian Patrol in Wales, "as one of the most prestigious patrolling tests within NATO." [23]

From Cornwall to Mongolia, Kazakhstan to Illinois, Sweden to Wales, Poland to Georgia, Lithuania to India and beyond, NATO and the Pentagon are strengthening military partnerships and networks around the Afghan war. Neither Washington nor Brussels is in a hurry to abandon a conflict that has allowed both to globalize their military roles.
