Exercise Junipre Cobra: IDF paratroopers teach US marines ‘lost art’ of tunnel combat
Play hard, learn lots, win the next battle. | [IsraelTimes] On sidelines of huge Juniper Cobra air defense exercise, American and Israeli ground troops trade know-how and practice beach landings, urban combat, desert warfare
Israeli paratroopers and US marines completed a series of exercises over the past week and a half aimed at sharing techniques and knowledge on beach-landings and aspects of urban warfare, as part of the joint Juniper Cobra exercise, officers said.
For the Americans ‐ specifically the US Marine Corps’ 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment ‐ it meant learning how to fight in tunnels, something marines haven’t had to do since the Vietnam War, said battalion commander Lt. Col. Marcuz Mainz.
