Israel, U.S. Conduct Four-Day Military Training Exercise
[AP/International Herald Tribune] The Israeli military said Thursday that around 200 U.S. and Israeli officers had staged a computer-based battle simulation designed to improve coordination between the two countries' armed forces. The four-day exercise, codenamed "Juniper Falcon," was part of a standing agreement between the two strategic allies to hold regular joint training to boost "interoperability, understanding and cooperation." Defense officials said that, in addition, the Israeli military's southern command held a separate simulation based on a scenario of an escalated conflict in Gaza.
