UK planning a universal observer trial

Article Abstract:

The UK 3 Commando Brigade has developed a new Fire Support Team (FST) concept, which will be demonstrated at the inaugural ceremony in June 2005 in the north of Scotland, as a part of the UK-run Joint Maritime Course 052. Drawing lessons from the recent combat experience in Afghanistan and Iraq, the US and UK forces have drawn specifications for the training and use of "common" or "universal" observers who will be able to control the overall battlefield effects.
