CAMP TRZEBIEN, Poland – The outgoing and incoming commanders of the 3rd Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear & Construction Battalion visited the 3rd Construction Company, Danish Engineers during their training rotation for Resolute Castle 2018 in support of Atlantic Resolve at Camp Trzebien, Poland, April 12, 2018.
During their visit, Danish army Lt. Col. Jørgen Christian Jensen, the outgoing commander of the 3rd CBRN & CONST BN, and Danish army Lt. Col. Kasper Hovgaard, the incoming commander, met with U.S. Army Maj. Brian Jezewski, the officer in charge for RC18, assigned to the 218th Maneuver Enhancement Brigade, South Carolina Army National Guard, to discuss one another’s missions and how they can create more interoperability between the U.S. and NATO allies during Resolute Castle.
“We would like to see NATO Allies incorporated in our brigade staff in future rotations,” said Jezewski. “By planning for Resolute Castle three to five years out, it would allow more NATO allies to be involved.”
After the meeting concluded, the entourage toured the 3rd Construction COYs work site. Approximately 25 engineers are working 12-hour days constructing an unmanned aerial system runway in conjunction with road improvement and building trenches during their RC18 three-week rotation.
“The main benefit of this mission is that we are working our own plans,” said Jensen, who will retire with almost 40 years of service. “This gives us more training because we do not have this amount of material at home.”
The incoming commander spoke to the engineers during the tour of the 300-meter-long UAS runway, which will contain 95 metric tons of riprap and aggregate once the construction is completed.
“The interoperability with the Allied is great, not just for officers, but down to the soldier,” said Hovgaard. “We would like to have a greater commitment to the exercise next year.”
