EXERCISE SIBERIAN CHALLENGE

Joint British Army and Russian Emercom adventure expedition

the First Official Meeting in London in November 2000

On 12-17 November 2000, an official committee from EMERCOM (Russian Ministry for Emergencies) and Wild Russia visited London to meet with officials from the RLC and MOD. The aim of the visit was to establish formal relations between both parties. It was agreed following the meeting between the MOD and EMERCOM that the Expedition will take place in July and August 2001. It was also agreed to organise joint training in Scotland in February 2001 in order to improve communication and mountain skills between the Russian and British Teams prior to the main Expedition in North Eastern Siberia.
