A total of approximately 5,200 soldiers from Germany, Hungary, Italy, Kosovo, Latvia, Lithuania, the Netherlands, Moldova, Poland, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey, the UK, and the US participated in the exercise.

It was hosted by the US Army’s overseas combat training centre Joint Multinational Readiness Center (JMRC).

German Brigadier general and commander of the 1st Panzer Division Heico Hübner said: “The preparations for this exercise took more than a year.

“The possibility that Allied Spirit offers us, to plan with the commanders of the brigades and battalions in this multinational configuration, to give orders, to see how we tactically work together, is unique. This is a huge enrichment for the management process at the multinational level.”
