The U.S. Navy’s ship, USS James E. Williams transited, on March 18th, 2014, the Atlantic Ocean ahead of Joint Warrior Exercise which will take place in Scotland on March 31, 2014.
Joint Warrior (JW) Exercises are planned and conducted by the Joint Tactical Exercise Planning Staff (JTEPS) based at Headquarters Northwood, UK.
JW is designed to provide interaction between forces and to maximise the synergistic training opportunities offered by having many different military capabilities working together that would only otherwise be found on live operations.
