Exercises and Training

Exercises

Soldiers need to train. The aim of all NATO and Allied military training is to increase the capabilities, readiness, interoperability and flexibility of our forces.

NATO conducts realistic and challenging exercises on land, in the air, at sea and in the cyber space in order to train its troops the same way we expect them to fight.

Here at Headquarters Joint Force Command Brunssum, we command and conduct military exercises throughout the entire year. Some of them are run virtually to test internal procedures and command and control mechanisms. Others are conducted in a real life scenario in the field, sometimes involving ten thousands of troops at a time and large numbers of vehicles, ships, aircraft and other equipment.
