NATO’s multinational battlegroup in Bulgaria completed Exercise Platinum Lion 22, passing an important milestone as it moves towards achieving full operational capability.

The battlegroup currently consists of the Bulgarian Army’s 42nd Mechanised Battalion and a mechanised infantry company from the US Army’s 3rd Armoured Brigade Combat Team. Soldiers from the British Army’s Royal Irish Regiment worked alongside the battlegroup for Platinum Lion 22, learning how to manoeuvre and communicate with their NATO Allies as they repelled a simulated attack.

The battlegroup in Bulgaria was created following a decision by the North Atlantic Council to reinforce the eastern part of the Alliance, following Russia’s brutal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. To help establish the battlegroup, the US Army’s 4th Security Force Assistance Brigade has spent time mentoring the 42nd Mechanised Battalion at Novo Selo, helping them learn how to operate in a multinational context.

The Italian Army will assume leadership of the battlegroup this fall and lead the way for other nations to participate including Bulgaria and the United States.

Footage includes shots of Bulgarian, UK and US troops during the exercise, as well as interviews with Bulgarian and US officers.

Multinational battlegroup in Bulgaria completes its biggest exercise yet

Allied rocket artillery systems practised synchronising their fires during Dynamic Front 2022, a US-hosted artillery live-fire exercise held in Germany.

During the exercise, Multiple-Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS) from Slovakia, the United Kingdom and the United States were used to perform fire missions under the command of a multinational higher headquarters, played this year by the UK-led Allied Rapid Reaction Corps (ARRC). This is made possible by the Artillery Systems Cooperation Activities (ASCA), a software programme that links artillery batteries from different countries to a centralised, multinational command and control centre. Currently, nine NATO Allies participate in this programme, including Denmark, France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, Türkiye, the United Kingdom and the United States.

During the exercise, the Slovak and US armies strengthened their cooperation by joining forces in the field: soldiers from the US Army’s 1-41 Field Artillery Battalion acted as a fire control centre for a battery from the Slovak 54th MLRS battalion, receiving and passing on fire missions. The US soldiers were part of the forces deployed to Europe in early 2022 after Russia invaded Ukraine.

Additionally, Joint Terminal Attack Controllers (JTACs) from NATO invitee Finland worked alongside JTACS from the Czech Republic and Spain to direct the artillery fire while also calling in simulated air strikes from the US Air Force fighters.

Dynamic Front 22 featured MLRS systems that several NATO Allies have donated to Ukraine, including the M270 and the RM-70.

Footage includes shots of MLRS systems conducting a live-fire exercise; Czech and Finnish forward observers guiding Allied aircraft; US soldiers practising artillery procedures; and interviews with Slovak, UK, and US soldiers.

Around 3,000 NATO troops are taking part in exercise Ramstein Legacy 22, NATO’s largest live-fire air defence exercise to date. Seventeen Allied countries are exercising in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Poland with aircraft, missile defence systems and electronic warfare systems.

Around 50 aircraft have flown from bases across Europe, and 17 surface-based air and missile defence systems are being integrated and tested in live-fire scenarios.

Footage includes live-fire demonstrations in Ustka, Poland with Czech, French, Polish, Slovak and UK troops demonstrating various weapons systems, including the Starstreak air defence system.

Also included is an interview with Colonel Graham Taylor, Commander of 7 Air Defence Group, 12 Regiment Royal Artillery, British Army.

Allied Exercise Siil 22 tests Estonian Defence Forces

The USS Kearsarge recently supported Allied exercises in Estonia and the Baltic Sea, demonstrating NATO’s amphibious power in a strategically vital region.

The Kearsarge, a US Navy amphibious assault ship, entered the Baltic Sea with the amphibious troop carriers USS Arlington and USS Gunston Hall on 13 May 2022 with the 22nd Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) embarked. Off the coast of Estonia, the group participated in Exercise Siil (Hedgehog) 22, a semi-annual Estonian national defence drill. The ships also participated in Neptune Shield 22, a series of maritime drills held by Naval Striking and Support Forces NATO, or STRIKFORNATO, a Portugal-based Allied maritime headquarters, and the US Navy’s Sixth Fleet.

The Kearsarge docked in Tallinn on 27 May.

Boasting AV-8B Harrier fighters, attack helicopters, hundreds of riflemen and the ability to get them ashore via sea or air, the 22nd MEU represents a powerful means of projecting military might ashore. The US Marines frequently practise amphibious landings in Europe.

Footage includes shots of the USS Kearsarge in Tallinn and an interview with Captain Josiah J. Ricke, AH-1Z pilot, United States Marine Corps.

During Exercise Cold Response 2022 in Norway, members of the US Marine Corps arrived ashore in Dutch landing craft and US Marine helicopters provided air support to Italian Marines who were training on the ground, in a demonstration of transatlantic unity and strength.
Exercises like Cold Response enable Allied forces from both sides of the Atlantic to work together. This helps to align skills and practices and overcome barriers such as different systems and languages. It also means that decades-long bonds can be reaffirmed and strengthened.
The exercise took place in March 2022 and featured 30,000 troops from 27 NATO Allied and partner countries.

US and European Marines strengthen transatlantic security

To improve readiness, capability and interoperability, NATO regularly conducts exercises, testing forces in the air, on land and at sea to make sure they are able to face all possible scenarios.
Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine has changed the face of European security and underlined the need for combat-ready forces to be able to deploy at speed across NATO Allied territory.
Military exercises such as Cold Response and Brilliant Jump, which took place in the Arctic, are long-planned training exercises that enable troops to practise their skills in sub-zero temperatures on difficult terrain.
More than 30,000 troops from 27 NATO Allies and partners took part in Cold Response ‘22 in Norway in March.

Why it's critical for NATO to exercise

NATO Allies and partners are proving themselves against the extreme elements in the north of Norway during Exercise Cold Response 22.

During the long-planned exercise, troops are required to push through demanding terrain against an entrenched simulated opposing force, all while coping with cold, wet and windy conditions. The exercise area stretches north from the coastal fjords near Narvik to Bardufoss, where NATO Allies frequently conduct cold-weather training.

More than 30,000 troops from 27 NATO Allies and partners have gathered in northern Norway for the drills, which started in early March and will continue until end March.

Footage includes shots of Finnish, Italian, Norwegian and Swedish troops and US helicopters during the exercise, as well as interviews including with Lieutenant General Michael Claesson, Chief of Joint Operations, Swedish Armed Forces.

The US Army Special Forces recently participated in a winter warfare course hosted by the Swedish Subarctic Warfare Centre.

Held in northern Sweden, the course introduced the Special Forces to the specific hardships of military operations in the European High North. The soldiers, who are assigned to 10th Special Forces Group, learned how to move, fight and be self-sufficient in an unforgiving environment. They will put those skills to the test during Cold Response 2022, a Norwegian-led exercise slated for March.

The US Army Special Forces - commonly referred to as Green Berets - are the United States’ premier unconventional warfare fighting force, focused specifically on working by, with and through partner forces using language skills and cultural savvy.

Footage includes shots of soldiers building a fire, manoeuvring on snowmobiles, and practising combat drills.
