Egypt, U.S. Ready For War Games
CAIRO, Egypt (AP) - U.S. tanks, trucks and troops headed ashore Sunday along
Egypt's Mediterranean coast, readying for war games involving more than
50,000 members of armed forces from 11 nations.
The Bright Star military exercises, held every two years, give nations a
chance to get familiar with each other's equipment, tactics and training -
then put them to the test.
Some of the 18,000 U.S. troops involved began arriving with their equipment
Sunday near the coastal city of Alexandria. Maneuvers, which formally begin
Friday and wrap up Nov. 1, include an amphibious landing, missile practice
and field combat training.
For the first time, Bright Star will also include a computer-aided command
exercise intended to quickly transfer satellite images and other strategic
information to commanders in the battlefield.
``Everyone thinks if you put enough guns there and you put enough troops
there, you're going to win. But you have to have good command and control,''
said Maj. Joe LaMarca, a U.S. spokesman for the exercises.
Bright Star military maneuvers began in 1981 and originally involved only the
United States and Egypt. This year, Germany, Greece, Jordan and the
Netherlands are participating for the first time, LaMarca said. The others
involved are Britain, France, Italy, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates.
