Zackary R. Buckon, a spokesman for the rotational force.<br\/><br\/> Exercise Platinum Eagle ended on March 1. The Marines trained at the small-unit level with troops from Ukraine, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia, Bulgaria and Macedonia, Buckon said. They maneuvered up the range, using combined arms tactics to &#8220;combat a variety of enemy situations,&#8221; he said.<br\/><br\/> Since 2015, Marines have rotated through Mihail Kogalniceanu Air Base in Romania, in part a response to Russia&#8217;s annexation of Crimea and invasion of eastern Ukraine.<br\/><br\/><\/p>\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-smg-jwplayer-video\"><atype-video-jwplayer nostick=\"true\" playlisturl=\"https:\/\/cdn.jwplayer.com\/v2\/playlists\/fCzRqMW8?tags=9c968499-cff6-428b-86ee-c66d95b1f1e5\" aspectratio=\"16 \/ 9\" mute autostart=\"false\"><\/atype-video-jwplayer><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ever since the Russian annexation of Crimea from Ukraine, tensions have been rising in the Black Sea. NATO and its allies have continued to provide an enhanced forward presence, with significant maritime power and ongoing support and training for the Ukrainian armed forces. In this video, watch U.S. Marines perform their first ever amphibious landing in Ukraine alongside their Ukrainian allies in the Black Sea.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In August, Marines and sailors with the 22nd\u00a0Marine Expeditionary Unit practiced amphibious operations with the Ukrainians as part of the annual Sea Breeze exercise. Although the Russians were interested in the exercise, they did not take any provocative actions, said Navy Capt. Byron Ogden, commodore for Amphibious Squadron Six.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;All of the interactions that they had were safe and professional, from my recollection,&#8221; Ogden told reporters on Thursday. &#8220;There was nothing that drew unnecessary attention to give us any pause. There were some other interactions with some other vessels shortly around that time. We were concerned about it going up there, but we never had one of the low flybys by an SU-24 or anything like that.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>About 400 Marines had to overcome &#8216;muddy, unforgiving terrain.&#8217;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":33399,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":69,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[12,67,69],"tags":[],"coauthors":[1187],"class_list":["post-14074","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-pentagon-congress","category-your-marine-corps"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"AIPC3NDLGFBJFBY2URQPKMKL7I","arc_canonical_url":"\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2017\/03\/03\/mud-is-no-problem-for-marines-training-in-romania\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) -
