Soldiers from the U.S. Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are taking part in the joint exercise of the five English-speaking nations from Sept. 12 to Oct. 5, 2008 designed to help them operate together. The units practice a multitude of situations they'll face once deployed, like extracting targets in door-to-door fighting, dealing with the culture and protocol of Afghan leaders, and how to detect and work around roadside bombs and other improvised explosive devices.
