> 2 July 18

- Walt drafting the DATE Europe strategic overview

- Walt's strategic overview email'd to the team.

> 5 July 18

- Conversation with Walt on the strategic framework for DATE Europe. The team's approach is to adapt Skolkan, JWC exercise backgrounds to produce the strategic setting for DATE Europe. Using the adaptation process, the team will remove references to Russia, Soviet Union, WARSAW Pact and references to other exercise countries. References to Donovia and other DATE countries are allowed. 

> 6 July 18

- Discussion with Danny concerning the elimination of Skolkan from the DATE Europe for Laura's Red Diamond article. Walt proposed/stated that we needed to replace Skolkan with Baltic Sea Empire. Skolkan needs to remain in DATE Europe to allow relevance to JMRC. The countries of Dushman and Tolima, both from Skolkan, need to be removed from DATE Europe.  

> 11 July 18

- Discussion concerning the use of hard dates in the DATE OEs with Angela and Walt. Where possible, change the narrative to show a sliding date and where specific dates are used then slide the date range forward to 2018. Example, a data table showing election results over the last 5 years would change from 2007 - 2012 to 2013 - 2018.

>23 July 18

- Team meeting to discuss JMRC's approach to SABRE Junction exercise and DATE Europe. Main points involved Skolkan, military force size, synchronization with Donovia from DATE Caucasus, DATE country borders, and the level of detail in the INFOWAR variables for each country.

- Discussion of the Information variable. Guidance is to follow the standard DATE template to include EW, INFOWAR, Cyber capabilities for each of the DATE Europe countries. Also, include information for the 5 major cities of each country in the Infrastructure variable in light of dense urban terrain training requirements.

> 2 Aug 18

- Discussed the lack of detail for Gotland in the current narrative. The intention is for Gotland to be a friction point between Torrike, Bothnia, Donovia, and the Baltic States. Adding more detail to expand the situation to create the point of conflict over Gotland to the Torrike and Bothnia narratives.

> 7 Aug 18
