Dynamic Monarch is a series of live submarine search, escape and rescue (SMER) exercises that provide the opportunity to share related knowledge among NATO Allies and other nations worldwide.
The sea is a difficult environment to deal with in an emergency situation. The aim of this exercise is to train mariners in cooperating when saving crew members from a distressed submarine and to help develop tactics and test equipment in order to provide options if an emergency does strike.
Dynamic Monarch 2017 kicked off on 8 September and ran until 22 September in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, off the coast of Aksaz, Turkey. The NATO nations participating in this year’s drills were Canada, France, Italy, Norway, Poland, Spain, Turkey, the United Kingdom and the United States. Representatives from Bangladesh, Chile, Indonesia, Israel, Japan, Pakistan, South Korea and Sweden were also invited to the exercise as observers.
Footage includes underwater shots of Turkish surface-supplied divers working between 30 and 40 meters depth along with various shots of Canadian, Polish and Turkish divers during the exercise.
