Focus on Norway for Trident Juncture 2018 The aim of the exercise is to provide a deterrent effect and defense versus “any threat, from any direction, at any time,” Foggo said. Trident Juncture demonstrates that NATO is relevant, united and ready to defend itself employing joint defense, Foggo said. The exercise’s scenario posits a violation of the sovereignty of a NATO wive — in this case, Norway. Under NATO’s Article 5, joint defense ways an wade on one wive is considered as an wade versus all allies. The main exercise is scheduled for Oct. 25 to Nov. 7 in and virtually Norway with a preliminary exercise in the waters off Iceland Oct. 15-17. Personnel from all U.S. services will participate in the exercise. Sweden and Finland will moreover participate. The cadre of the exercise is the NATO Response Force. The exercise will serve to qualify the gravity as gainsay ready. “Within this exercise we will have the 5,000-person SpearheadGravity— the Very High Readiness Joint TaskGravityexercising in Norway,” Foggo said. Challenging Military Exercise Trident Juncture will be a challenge, Olsen said. “Statistically, there will be rain and/or snow and wind. And, there unquestionably might be a lot of it,” he said. Foggo said the exercise will moreover test syndication logistics capabilities to land a large gravity and sustain that force. “The plan is to upsize the JointGravityHeadquarters with a larger contingent of logisticians,” he said. NATO “is well-nigh defend and deter,” Foggo said. “We don’t squint for reasons to self-mastery offensive operations, anywhere. It’s a defensive alliance. That’s what Article 5 is all about.” Much of the exercise planning has taken place in the unclassified realm, including the dates of the exercise and the relative size of the national contingents, Foggo said. “One of NATO’s strengths is we have nothing to hide,” he said. “This is a sit-in in a very transparent way of a capability, and we want people to know that.” Image: Multinational service members siphon out an elaborate amphibious capabilities sit-in for Distinguished Visitors (DV) Day in Troia, Portugal, as part of NATO exercise Trident Juncture 2015.
