It exceeded my expectation. Everything went well from the word go. Even the pre coordinating conferences we had, there was full participation from all parties therefore, by the time we came in we were all prepared and knew what was expected of us. When we started, the cooperation and enthusiasm was there that is why the exercise ended very well and it was very successful\u201d he said. \r\n\r\n "
