Russian-United States Guide for Tactics, Techniques and Procedures of Peacekeeping Forces during the Conduct of Exercises
Abstract
In April 1993, President Clinton and President Yeltsin declared their intention to form a 'strategic partnership' between the US and Russia. Following the lead of the two presidents, the US Dept of Defense and the Russian Ministry of Defense have taken significant steps. In May 1993, delegations from the Russian General Staff and the US Joint Staff met in Washington DC for the first- ever US-Russian Joint Staff Talks. In Sept 93, Russian Minister of Defense Pavel Grachev and US Secretary of Defense Les Aspin signed a 'Memorandum of Understanding and Cooperation in Defense and Military Relations'. Perhaps the most visible and important example of cooperation in defense and military relations is the development of a US-Russian initiative in the area of combined peacekeeping training, an initiative first mentioned at the April 1993 Vancouver Summit. This US-Russian initiative will culminate in a small-scale combined peacekeeping training exercise, to be conducted by elements of the Russian 27th GMRD (Guard Motorized Rifle Division) and the US 3ID in July 1994 in Totskoye, Russia. In addition, both sides have agreed to carry out a second, small scale training exercise at a time and place to be determined.
