In this phase of Exercise JOINT WARRIOR anything can happen at any time. Movements of aircraft against escort ships are frequent and unannounced. A simulated air attack against Spanish warship Mendez Nuñez off the coast of Scotland results in activation of weapons on both sides.
This is one tactical exercise among many within Exercise JOINT WARRIOR, which will run from April 11-24 off the coast of Scotland. NATO’s three standing naval forces (SNFs) consisting of 14 ships will join more than 40 additional warships and submarines and 70 aircraft. In total, around 13,000 personnel from 14 countries are participating in the exercise.
The exercise provides complex coordinated training, increasing interoperability between Allied forces and providing valuable experience integrating land, air, and maritime forces.
