CAMP KOSCIUSZKO, Poland – Soldiers from dozens of NATO countries joined V Corps
to participate in Avenger Triad 25, Oct. 23-Nov. 2.
Representatives from multiple allied nations, including, Poland, Germany, Netherlands,
United Kingdom, Greece, France, Spain, Romania, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Denmark,
Norway, Belgium, Italy, Croatia, Slovenia, Hungary, Finland, U.S., Canada and others,
participated in the computer-assisted exercise simulating a large-scale combat scenario on
Europe’s eastern flank.
Tied to Steadfast Duel, NATO’s premier annual computer-assisted command post
exercise, was designed to enhance the alliance’s deterrence and defense capabilities through
muti-domain operations. The exercise ran concurrently with U.S. Army European Command’s
(EUCOM), Avenger Triad 25 exercise, executed by U.S. Army Europe and Africa. Avenger Triad
25 focused primarily on U.S. Army Europe and Africa’s ability to operate as a multinational land
component command overseeing multiple corps, including V Corps.
“We are doing this exercise in a way that is entirely possible in the future in terms of
operations,” said U.K. Maj. Gen. Charles Grist, deputy commanding general for the U.S. Army V
Corps, addressing the NATO Soldiers on Camp Kosciuszko just prior to the start of the
exercise.
The NATO troops serving as liaison officers to V Corps provided critical links to facilitate
communication and coordination between NATO and U.S. forces during the exercise.
“I’m here to ensure communication between V Corps and the 10th Panzer Division
during the battle,” said Bundeswehr Col. Marcel De Beus, liaison officer for the 10th Panzer
Division. “I have learned a lot in this exercise, and us [NATO liaison officers] understanding
American doctrine and warfighting functions has helped a lot.”
“This is the first time we have worked with the 2nd Polish Corps in a V Corps exercise.
One of my biggest takeaways is how non-lethal effects work hand-in-hand with lethal effects,
specifically with the use of deception and targeting groups in a multinational large-scale
operation.”
Polish 2nd Corps Liaison Officer Capt. Artur Leksander understood the importance of
working with V Corps in this year’s exercise. “Our [Polish 2nd ] corps has participated in this
exercise last year, and this year we are working with V Corps directly again to implement more
regional planning,” said Leksander. “We were able to communicate directly with V Corps to
synchronize plans, especially with air defenses and multi-domain targeting.”
The exercise was a critical event as part of the V Corps road to its Warfighter exercise
scheduled for March 3.
“We are here to assure our NATO allies and we are here to fight with them to defend
NATO territory,” said Lt. Gen. Charles Costanza, V Corps commanding general. “I thank our
liaison officers for being part of the team, and they are welcome here at V Corps anytime.”
