NATO gathers its Military in a Massive Show of Force
US Military #News – By land, by sea and by air, NATO Allies have deployed to take part in exercise Steadfast Defender involving 90,000 personnel from 31 Allies and partner nation Sweden.
Synopsis
NATO forces are on the move for Steadfast Defender 2024, the Alliance’s largest exercise in decades.
The purpose of Steadfast Defender 2024 is to put NATO’s new regional defence plans to the test. With forces practising rapid deployment and combat in both Norway and Poland, Allies are proving their ability to command and control large ground, air and sea forces across significant distances.
Taking place alongside is exercise Joint Warrior, a training event into which the Joint Expeditionary Force (JEF), NATO and partner nations’ formations, units and their staffs can participate and undertake collective training.
Meanwhile, NATO’s rapid response forces, led this year by the United Kingdom, deployed to Poland as part of exercise Brilliant Jump 24, which falls under Steadfast Defender. There, they will prepare themselves to repel a simulated adversary in a collective defence scenario.
Steadfast Defender 2024 involves 90,000 forces from 31 Allies and NATO partner Sweden, and is conducted across various NATO nations.
