At the end of the exercise, Pavel Voicu said that he is satisfied with the soldiers’ skills, the way how they fulfilled their missions, and their team spirit during the entire course of the exercise.

“I would like to appreciate the Commanders’ significant effort, because without their contribution this exercise would not stand at the high level we have aimed at. I saw precision, determination, and motivation. I hope you will continue to remain like this — just as committed to our mission,” mentioned Minister Voicu.
