The Commander-in-Chief of Multi-Domain Command 56 Europe, Brigadier General Steve Carpenter, stated on Monday, in a press conference held in Cincu, that Dynamic Front 26 is NATO's benchmark exercise for fire support and that the participants are thrilled with this opportunity and the results obtained from this application, carried out simultaneously in several states.
This is the Supreme Multidomain Strike Command, the headquarters of strike structures throughout Europe, responsible for integrating and synchronizing strikes across all domains for the land component. By all domains, I mean air, land, naval and space, both offensive and defensive strikes. Dynamic Front is our benchmark exercise for fire support. I say this because it allows us to rehearse our regional plans and work on initiatives aligned with the Eastern Flank Deterrence Line. In this edition of Dynamic Front we have troops from 24 different NATO countries training under this program and participating in this exercise. They are training in five different countries, in nine training areas and in multiple command posts across Europe. We are really excited about this opportunity and the results that have been achieved as a result of this exercise, Brigadier General Steve Carpenter, commander of Multi-Domain Command 56 Europe, told a press conference held at Cincu on Monday.
According to the American general, exercises such as Dynamic Front are important because, in order for NATO's integrated strike complex to be able to outrun the enemy and create dilemmas "that generate an absolutely unbearable experience", the allies must ensure that they can repeat regional plans, so that they can optimize their fire support architecture.
As part of the largest multinational artillery exercise under American command in Europe, Dynamic Front 26, carried out simultaneously in several states, a NATO exercise with live ammunition firing was organized at the Cincu Training Area on Monday.
The Cincu exercise was organized by the Multinational Corps Headquarters South-East (MNC-SE) in cooperation with the 56th Multidomain Command - Europe, along with NATO allies and partners from the United States, Romania, Poland and France, and on Monday tested how different artillery systems can cooperate.
The commander of the 8th Tactical Missile Brigade, known as the 'HIMARS Brigade', Colonel Costel Sorin Balan, indicated that his Brigade participated in the Dynamic Front 26 exercise as the primary training audience.
According to representatives of the Ministry of National Defense, HIMARS systems and French CAESAR howitzers were used during Monday's exercise, two different systems, but which were integrated into the same scenario.
The exercise will feature live-fire activities in several Allied countries, with Romania hosting the training sequences from the Cincu Range, which will directly contribute to strengthening Allied interoperability and strengthening NATO's deterrence and defense posture on the Eastern Flank.
Overall, the entire exercise aims to put into practice the Eastern Flank Deterrence Line (EFDL) and aims to practice NATO regional plans, as well as integrate effects in the land, air, maritime, cyber and space domains, to counter access restriction and area control capabilities supported by concentrated conventional forces.
This is the largest artillery interoperability exercise of the United States Army Forces in Europe, taking place from January 26 to February 13.
According to the Defence Ministy (MApN), Dynamic Front 26 highlights the role of the 56th Multidomain Command - Europe in integrating effects at the theater level and in developing large-scale multidomain operations and marks the last edition of the exercise in its current format.
