Among the various didactic and training activities, the attendees carried out a week of training at the Fort Sill Center of Excellence (Oklahoma) to learn the principles and techniques of fire management in support of the maneuver, as well as a week of Tactical Exercise Without Troops (TEWT) at Camp Pendleton (California).
"The course at the US Marines Expeditionary Warfare School is extremely valuable in terms of content and topics covered", says Rigliano, adding: "It is also extremely important to create a network of lasting interpersonal relationships between the various officers of the allied amphibious units, thus allowing for complete integration at the multinational level."
As a valuable note, Lieutenant Rigliano received the mention of 'Distinguished graduate', a title conferred on students who have distinguished themselves in their training for their excellent academic and professional performance.
