How do we train our multinational forces? We run exercises such as Steadfast Defender 2021, which is taking place in Romania and Portugal.
Synopsis
Allied and partner forces are taking part in NATO exercise Steadfast Defender 2021.
The exercise brings together over 9,000 air, land, maritime and special operations forces. More than 20 NATO Allies and partners are participating in the exercise which aims to ensure NATO forces are trained, able to operate together and ready to respond to any threat from any direction. More information on the exercise can be found on the NATO website and on the SHAPE website.
NATO takes the necessary measures to protect our armed forces. This includes COVID-19 precautions, such as pre-deployment testing and quarantining.

(04:58) SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) LIEUTENANT GENERAL ROGER L. CLOUTIER JR, COMMANDER ALLIED LAND COMMAND
“Well, to NATO, NATO at large, it demonstrates interoperability across multiple nations. It demonstrates standardization and it really demonstrates the combat readiness of NATO's land forces. As NATO LANDCOM Commander, I focus every day on the combat readiness of NATO's land forces and the VJTF is the tip of the spear.”
(05:19) SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) LIEUTENANT GENERAL ROGER L. CLOUTIER JR, COMMANDER ALLIED LAND COMMAND
“This is about interoperability and combat readiness and there's three types of interoperability. Human interoperability, where soldiers from different nations work together and they develop that human interoperability. Technical interoperability like the ability to control the TAC aviation, to synchronise artillery. And then process and procedure interoperability, where you learn to work together using different processes and procedures. So the soldiers and units leave here more interoperable, more combat ready and more capable of defending this great Alliance.”
