​

More than 14,000 US service members from the US Army, Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps will take part in Exercise Trident Juncture 18, which begins Oct. 25, 2018.

The month-long exercise will take place in Norway and the surrounding areas of the North Atlantic and the Baltic Sea, including Iceland and the airspace of Finland and Sweden. The exercise will include a live portion, from Oct. 25-Nov. 7 and a command post exercise from Nov. 14-23.

Trident Juncture 18 is designed to test NATO’s ability to plan and conduct a major collective defense operation – from troop training at the tactical level, to command over large elements of a NATO force.

“Trident Juncture demonstrates our credible capability, and together we deter potential adversaries,” said US Navy Admiral James Foggo, commander of NATO’s Allied Joint Force Command-Naples and the senior NATO commander overseeing the exercise. “All 29-member NATO nations will participate in the exercise, along with our partners from Sweden and Finland and we are delighted about that.”

US military personnel and equipment began their movements from their US and European bases to Norway in September, with II Marine Expeditionary Force, based at Camp Lejeune, N.C., executing the complex and logistically intensive task of transporting thousands of Marines and their equipment across the Atlantic Ocean. The transition to prepare for the exercise was in itself for these Marines a test of their ability to rapidly deploy to Norway and quickly integrate into the NATO command structure, should they ever be called upon to fight.

With around 50,000 participants from 31 nations Trident Juncture 2018 is one of NATO’s largest exercises in recent years. More than 250 aircraft, 65 ships and 10,000 vehicles are involved in the exercise to perform and conduct air, land, maritime, special operation and amphibious drills.
