Marines with 2nd Intelligence Battalion, II Marine

Marines with 2nd Intelligence Battalion, II Marine Expeditionary Force, welcome British soldiers of the 5, 6, and 7 Military Intelligence Battalion, 1 Intelligence Surveillance Reconnaissance Brigade, at the beginning of the field and interoperability training portion of Exercise Phoenix Odyssey, Sept. 11, 2014. Approximately 100 British soldiers were taught the Marine Corps’ Structured Analytic Techniques over a period of three days from Sept. 8-11, in order to provide insight and familiarity before beginning the scenario-driven portion of Phoenix Odyssey. The two forces will be co-located in a Military Operations in Urban Terrain training facility on Camp Lejeune for the remaining seven days of Exercise Phoenix Odyssey. They will live and work out of the same concrete structures, while being engaged by active role players in the area and responding to scenarios provided by the staff of 2nd Intel Bn.
