NATO Allies conduct drills in exercise Dragon 2024
Nine NATO Allies are gathering in the Polish-led multinational exercise “Dragon 2024”. The exercise involves infantry operations and urban combat, and a live-fire tank exercise. Synopsis Nine Allies are participating in the Polish-led multinational exercise “Dragon 2024”. It involves troops from France, Germany, Lithuania, Poland, Slovenia, Spain, Türkiye, the United Kingdom and the United States. The exercise helps NATO Allies train on military operations at both the tactical and operational level. It involves training on infantry operations and urban combat, and a live-fire tank exercise. Exercise Dragon falls under Steadfast Defender 2024 – NATO’s largest exercise in decades. Steadfast Defender 2024 is testing the Alliance’s new regional defence plans with forces practising rapid deployment and combat in both Norway and Poland. It is enabling Allies to demonstrate their ability to command and control large ground, air and sea forces across significant distances, within the Euro-Atlantic area. Exercise Dragon 2024 runs from 4 to 14 March. Footage includes shots of a Polish Pilica anti-aircraft system operating, US troops practising tank recovery operations, M1 Abrams tanks firing, troops embarking and disembarking from a Bradley Fighting Vehicle, and trench-clearing operations, as well as French infantry firing, and going through urban combat training. Footage also includes interviews with two French and one US officer.

It’s a Polish national exercise, some NATO members were invited, France being one of the invitees.” (08:15) SOUNDBITE (FRENCH) - Captain Pierre-Louis, Deputy Officer, 5th Dragons Regiment, French Army “The exercise consists of three phases. A logistical deployment from France. A tactical and technical deployment on the ground, which lasted from our arrival on 21 February up until two days ago, in which we had a wet-gap crossing of the Vistula, a 300-km advance to contact. We’re now starting the last phase, a live-fire phase with a combined-arms, joint, Allied exercise.” (08:42) SOUNDBITE (FRENCH) - Captain Pierre-Louis, Deputy Officer, 5th Dragons Regiment, French Army “We haven’t done the armoured vehicle part since 1996 and now we are doing it in a joint and multinational setting. So it’s especially interesting for us. From my unit’s point of view, it allows us to push our vehicles to their limits. We don’t often do 300 km in a row with a battle tank.” (09:00) SOUNDBITE (FRENCH) - Captain Pierre-Louis, Deputy Officer, 5th Dragons Regiment, French Army “We’re entering a new era. Until now we were in a low-intensity era. The balance of power was systematically in our favour. Today with the feedback we’re getting from everything that’s happening all around the world, we’ve entered a new phase where we’re going to focus on high intensity. Instead of having a fight between the strong and the weak, we’re now going to have a fight between the strong and the strong; with the same technological capabilities, the same infrastructure, with sometimes situations where we’ll be destabilised. It’s something we feel when we train and we’re taking into account the whole variety of threats, that have been present since 2022 but also for the last five to six years in other parts of the world. (09:38) SOUNDBITE - Lieutenant Colonel Kenton Komives, Commander, 3-15 Infantry Battalion, US Army “Exercise Dragon, we brought the battalion, we’re an infantry battalion. So we have two infantry companies, with one armoured company, which is tanks. What we’re doing here during this exercise is lots of things. Starting with the Vistula River, we did a river-crossing down in that town and then we came up to here to do live-fire training. While we’re here we’re doing a lot of interoperability training, learning how other nations and NATO fight, and then how we can fight together to be better as an organisation.” (10:10) SOUNDBITE - Lieutenant Colonel Kenton Komives, Commander, 3-15 Infantry Battalion, US Army “So everything we do, we fight as a team, we’re never going to fight by ourselves. So having such a strong alliance that we have, and actually seeing all these nations being here is absolutely important for us to see how we can fight, how our equipment talks to each other and how we work together. It’s absolutely important to fight as an alliance and it’s just been a great experience for everybody.” (10:29) SOUNDBITE - Lieutenant Colonel Kenton Komives, Commander, 3-15 Infantry Battalion, US Army “When training in the US, you’re only with the other American units, so we understand the equipment. All of our equipment works together very well. But then when we come and train with all these different partners that we have, you have to get creative. How do we talk to each other, how do we communicate, how do we use their equipment, how do we use our equipment to get the end state that we’re looking at? It’s just being a really good force and a really good alliance.” (10:54) SOUNDBITE - Lieutenant Colonel Kenton Komives, Commander, 3-15 Infantry Battalion, US Army “The strongest military alliance, even today on the 25th anniversary of Poland joining NATO, being part of that ceremony today shows you how strong the bond is. And it does exactly what we’re supposed to do. We’re deterring aggression, we’re here doing that, and then as we’re doing that, the world knows how strong we are. That alliance alone and NATO coming together and showing what we can do is absolutely important for the world and for Europe, absolutely. (11:21) SOUNDBITE - Colonel Philippe, Commander, 35th Infantry Regiment, French Army “My battlegroup is composed of different enforcements, belonging on my command post to IFV companies coming from my regiment. But I’m also in force with the 7th Armoured Brigade, French Army. Different elements: one Leclerc tank company, and also one combat engineers and some logistical enforcement.” (11:44) SOUNDBITE - Colonel Philippe, Commander, 35th Infantry Regiment, French Army “It’s very important for the French land forces to work with the other NATO armies because it allowed us to discover new kinds of terrain in the east part of Europe.” (11:54) SOUNDBITE - Colonel Philippe, Commander, 35th Infantry Regiment, French Army “The French battlegroup embedded into the Dragon 24 exercise is currently under the orders of the 10th Armoured Brigade from the Polish Army in close coordination with a German battalion and a Polish tank battalion.” (12:11) SOUNDBITE - Colonel Philippe, Commander, 35th Infantry Regiment, French Army “This kind of exercise on the anniversary of NATO is important because it’s our common guarantee to maintain peace and safety in Europe. It’s also a good occasion for us to exchange about training, about our procedures and to have a concrete human and ground knowledge from each other.” (12:33) SOUNDBITE - Colonel Philippe, Commander, 35th Infantry Regiment, French Army “We find good opportunities to learn lessons from our Polish and US and German colleagues because we discover some elements about wet-gap crossing, for example. We do also wet-gap crossing in France, as you can imagine, but not at the level of a brigade.” (12:55) SOUNDBITE - Colonel Philippe, Commander, 35th Infantry Regiment, French Army “Since the beginning of the crisis in Ukraine, I think these kinds of exercises are a bit more serious from the top to the private. Because everyone understands that it’s a key element, that we need to be ready to protect our territories and the territories of our Allies on the eastern flank. And also the size of the exercise has increased from brigade to division level, and Dragon 24 is part of Steadfast Defender 24, which is the biggest exercise since the 80s in Europe.” ## END ## Usage rights This media asset is free for editorial broadcast, print, online and radio use.

Finnish and Swedish armoured units cross into Norway for exercise Nordic Response 2024
Days after Sweden became NATO’s 32nd Ally, Finnish and Swedish armoured units crossed into Norway as part of exercise Nordic Response 24. Synopsis Finnish Army tanks and Swedish Army mechanised infantry have charged into Norway for exercise Nordic Response 2024, showing NATO’s ability to rapidly move forces across Allied borders. During a demonstration for the media, Finnish Leopard 2 tanks and Swedish CV-90 infantry fighting vehicles crossed from Finland into Norway at Kivilompolo, roughly 140 kilometres south of Alta, where NATO forces have massed for the exercise. The crossing came days after Sweden officially joined NATO, becoming the Alliance’s 32nd member. The Finnish and Swedish units will now move north, locking their simulated adversary in a pincer manoeuvre as Allied amphibious units push south from Alta. Exercise Nordic Response gathers 20,000 troops from 13 NATO Allies in northern Norway to train together in the harsh arctic environment. It’s part of Steadfast Defender 2024, NATO’s biggest exercise in decades. Footage includes shots of Finnish and Swedish units during the demonstration, as well as interviews with Swedish Minister of Defence Pål Jonson and Finnish Army Chief of Staff Major General Jukka Jokinen.

It’s something I’ve personally worked for for decades, and I’m very glad to see it happening. It feels very natural to be here in the northern part of Finland, because Sweden, Finland and of course Norway are cooperating very extensively here as well, to keep our unique assets and capabilities, and also to assure that NATO’s deterrence and defence is strong.” (01:29) SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) – Swedish Minister of Defence Pål Jonson “Well, I think we have assets and capabilities that can make NATO stronger. I think we have unique competence when it comes to operating on the Baltic Sea. We operate our submarines. We have surface combatants. We are operating in the air. The other area I would point out which is of importance is this, we have this sub-arctic capabilities, and I think with Sweden, Finland and Norway now cooperating so closely, we’re going to keep the Alliance stronger here up north as well. We also have a unique defence industrial base. There’s no other country of 10 million people who can produce fighter jets and submarines. And we think we can also contribute to the NATO when it comes to innovation, we’re also eager now to join DIANA [Defence Innovation Accelerator for the North Atlantic] and NATO investment fund.” (02:15) SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) – Finnish Army Chief of Staff Major General Jukka Jokinen “I think now with Sweden as part of the NATO, the whole Nordic countries here up north are able to provide the whole competence, whole, one secured area inside of the Alliance, so that is very important. So all the cooperation, all the planning, executing of the orders will be much easier. So I’m sure that this is a great benefit for the whole NATO.” (02:46) SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) – Finnish Army Chief of Staff Major General Jukka Jokinen “This is a common operation. This is the troops from the different nations, and you were also able to see that we are really able to fight together. And that is a great thing. And that is what NATO is, stronger together.” ## END ##

NATO’s marines brave the Norwegian Arctic for exercise Nordic Response 2024
NATO’s marines hit the shores of arctic Norway for exercise Nordic Response 2024, which is part of Steadfast Defender 2024, NATO’s largest military drills in decades. Synopsis Allied marines have landed in Norway for exercise Nordic Response 2024, which is part of Steadfast Defender 2024, NATO’s largest military drills in decades. In the fjords near Alta, one of Norway’s northernmost cities, Finnish Marines with the Nyland Brigade came ashore via Swedish Navy CB-90 assault boats. They then skied through steep hills and dense forests, proving their ability to conduct amphibious operations regardless of climate or terrain. Marines from Italy and France also participated in the landings. North of Alta, US Marines with the 1st Battalion of the 2nd Marine Regiment (1/2) moved deeper into the austere landscape, using tracked vehicles and snowmobiles to quickly move through the deep snow. These US Marines spent a month preparing for the challenging weather at the training grounds near Setermoen, where Norwegian soldiers have helped US Marines prepare for arctic combat for more than five years. Exercise Nordic Response 2024 gathers 20,000 troops from 13 NATO Allies in northern Norway to train together in the harsh arctic environment. It is part of Steadfast Defender 2024, NATO’s biggest exercise in decades. Footage includes shots of Finnish Marines conducting amphibious landings and moving on skis, as well as US Marines manning defensive positions and moving through the snow.

And seeing the day-to-day ability of the marines to do their daily routine tasks and sustain themselves allows the battalion to stay enemy-oriented without having to sustain itself, because the marines understand the responsibilities that each marine has in order to facilitate day-to-day operations. So seeing the growth that we’ve made as a team coming out here has been phenomenal.” (03:26) SOUNDBITE (ENGLISH) – US Marine CORPS Lieutenant Colonel Ted Driscoll, commander, 1st Battalion, 2nd Marine Regiment “Working along our NATO Allies benefits American security in that, number one, from the military standpoint, as these young marines and sailors get to work side-by-side with the Norwegians, with the Finns, with the Swedes, their own confidence in just how good these Allies are continues to grow. And then at the larger level, being able to operate in an environment like this truly makes us capable of operating in any clime and place, which provides more options for our decision makers when they need the military to respond to ensure the security of the United States.” ## END ##
