Conducted through NATO’s Operational Capabilities Concept Evaluation and Feedback program, the exercise assesses the readiness, operational capabilities, and interoperability of designated AFBiH units under realistic field conditions. @OruzanesnageBiH @MDNG #USAinBiH *** Posjeta generalmajora Janeen Birckhead, komandantice Nacionalne garde Marylanda Manjači još jednom je potvrdila snažno i dugogodišnje partnerstvo Nacionalne garde Marylanda i Oružanih snaga Bosne i Hercegovine.
