Australian Army Pvt. James Paterson, a rifleman with 7 Royal Australian Regiment, plays the role of a villager who has been assaulted by an insurgent within Waratah village July 20. The goal of the role-playing exercise is to train service members to establish a successful relationship with a community not accustomed to foreign aid. More than 40 Australians and Marines are currently role-playing different characters in the mock community during Talisman Saber 2013. The biennial exercise enhances multilateral collaboration between U.S. and Australian forces in support of future combined operations, humanitarian assistance and natural disaster relief.
