NATO’s new high readiness ‘spearhead’ force is being deployed for the first time, as Exercise NOBLE JUMP gets underway with forces converging in Zagan, Poland for simulated combat. Units assigned to the Very High Readiness Joint Task Force (VJTF) were given orders to deploy on Tuesday 9 June 2015, and will exercise until 19 June. Over 2,100 troops from nine NATO nations are participating in the exercise, which continues the process of testing and refining the force.
This Norwegian Army unit - a contingent of 200 soldiers and 70 military vehicles - will move to the small city of Bergen, in the north-west of Germany, to practice a rapid relocation of troops by train and road within European frontiers.
