“I hope CE-04 will be an opportunity for all levels of personnel to learn about the way other
nations do business. Exercises such as CE-04 are the only way that logisticians of different
NATO and PfP nations have the possibility of seeing each others material, testing it,
comparing it and learning from each other. Interoperability, internationally and modularity
being key words in NATO language, exercises as CE-04 are at the very heart of it.”
