A Full spectrum exercise is a field training where they train as if they
are deployed. They simulate fire fights (gun battles with the enemy),
plan operations, and what not. This one that Steve is on right now
involves a month long training period with the Polish Army. They also
had this great idea to jump in to the training area with the Polish
Army.
As of right now, 35 soldiers are injured from the jump. The most severe are..
5 suffered head injuries
5 suffered spinal injuries
4 fractures their pelvis
What gets me is that they (the Army) expected this many injuries. Where
is my husband in all this? On his way to jump, the plane he was in
started to malfunction and they had to make a landing at Ramstein Air
Force base. The back end of the plane was coming off. So they took a bus
to Graff and waiting for another plane so they can fly in so they can
jump in to the training area. I am so worried. This whole operation is a
joke. They shouldn't of let them jump when it was considered dangerous.
UPDATE- I got an email from one of Steve's friends, Roman, saying that
the Army is now realizing just how dangerous the landing zone is (even
though they are the ones that considered it dangerous in the first
place) so no more soldiers will be jumping in.. that means Steve will be
taking a Humvee to the training area. Thank the Lord! There is a lot of
people seriously hurt and some in ICU. Praying for their quick
recovery.
