French and British join forces for CAS training.

The article reports on the completion of the joint Anglo-French close air support (CAS) training exercises over western Great Britain. The 2012 Gallic Marauder exercise demonstrated the mutual benefits in shared air-ground training opportunities as Great Britain's relationship with France gets closer. The exercise began on January 30 and was organised by the Centre d'Entrainment d'Instruction et de Préparation des Missions (CEIPM) and the Royal Marines.
