Operation Grand Slam (NATO) → Exercise Grand Slam — Per WP:TITLE. Reference #1 of the article (A U.S. Navy source) repeatedly calls it "Exercise Grand Slam" and refers to it as an exercise. I don't see any mention of the exercise's name in other references. NortyNort (Holla) 11:19, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
Reference #1 states the exercise was held in 1951, not 1952. I also can't find the dates "25 February and 16 March 1952" in their cited reference; #1. This appears to be wrong and I am not sure where the dates came from. If the dates are in fact wrong, than the Marine units derived from the USMC chronology are wrong as well. The research for this article is really good but the dates appear to have been a bad foundation. If I am wrong, please state so. -- NortyNort (Holla) 11:24, 31 July 2010 (UTC)
For the purposes of this article, the term "combined" will be used for all NATO-sponsored military exercises and operation since NATO is a military allaince that has its own command structure (i.e., SHAPE, SACLANT, and ACT) while the term "Multi-lateral" refers to international military exercises that have no set military command structure (i.e., RIMPAC).

In order to understand Exercise Grand Slam, a brief summary of the strategic background in necessary to place this event into proper historical context. Marcd30319 ( talk) 21:24, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
