SZCZECIN, POLAND – American Roll-on Roll-off

Carrier’s (ARC) M/V Independence II discharged military cargo in Szczecin, Poland to be used as part of Exercise “Anakonda 2016”, a multinational exercise with 24 NATO and other partner
nations.

Over 400 units of cargo were loaded on Independence II in Charleston, SC on 30 April for carriage to Poland. Independence II moved a mix of Humvees, trucks, trailers, containers, and various other items for the Army to take part in
Anakonda, which will be held from 7-17 June. The military exercise is held to test the ability of the Polish Armed Forces to work with its allies. A second set of exercise cargo will arrive in Poland later this month on ARC’s M/V Integrity.
