Meanwhile, a team of Naval Surface Warfare Center Dahlgren Division (NSWCDD) scientists and engineers worked from two locations – Dahlgren, Va., and Honolulu, Hawaii – to ensure the success of this year’s Valiant Shield exercise. “Our biggest strategic accomplishment was supporting live forces, both afloat and at terrestrial sites, using a combined in-person and local operations team,” said Joseph Pack, NSWCDD deputy director for expeditionary warfare, regarding Dahlgren’s impact on the exercise that focuses on the integration of joint training in a blue-water environment among U.S. forces.
