    U.S. Marine Col. Burke W. Whitman, commanding officer of the task force conducting Exercise SHARED ACCORD 2010, speaks with local media here, Aug. 3. Whitman reiterated the goals of the exercise, and noted how excited he was for the opportunity to work the Armed Forces for the Defense of Mozambique. During the 10-day exercise, a task force comprised largely of Marines will work with the FADM to help prepare them for their new role as a regional peacekeeping force. SHARED ACCORD is an annual, scheduled, bi-lateral field training exercise aimed at conducting small unit infantry and staff training with partner nations for the purpose of peace and stability operations. This year’s SA is being held in Mozambique. The exercise is scheduled to conclude on Aug. 13. All U.S. forces will return to their home bases in Europe and the U.S. at the end of the exercise.
