Overview
- The command-post exercise is underway in Europe with round-the-clock operations at Grafenwoehr and more than 1,500 U.S. and allied participants.
- An EXCON of about 2,500 is synchronizing scenarios that simulate the actions of roughly 620,000 troops across warfighting functions.
- The event was expanded to integrate NATO’s Steadfast Duel, creating the first fully merged U.S.–NATO theater training under a single framework.
- The training refines and validates allied defense plans while exercising large-scale, multi-domain command and control.
- Lessons and observations flow through the MAVEN common operating picture to a Lessons Learned Cell for distribution across allies and the U.S. government.
