The exercise is the first large-scale deployment of the ARF since its establishment past year and is aimed to test the deployable capabilities and procedures as well as the interoperability among the troop contributors and host nations. The exercise is set to demonstrate0 NATO's ability to rapidly deploy forces from Europe to reinforce the defence of its eastern flank. This reinforcement will occur during a simulated emerging conflict scenario with a near-peer adversary, showing the ARF capability to conduct and sustain complex operations across thousands of kilometers and in any condition. Approximately 10.000 personnel from 9 Allies and including air, land, maritime and special operation forces will participate. STDT25 will be carried out in Romania, Bulgaria and Greece with the host nations' support to demonstrate NATO's responsiveness in delivering significant deterrence effects. Live capability demonstrations will be conducted including amphibious operations, live-fire air power and combined maneuvers across all domains.

The exercise is the first large-scale deployment of the ARF since its establishment past year and is aimed to test the deployable capabilities and procedures as well as the interoperability among the troop contributors and host nations. The exercise is set to demonstrate0 NATO's ability to rapidly deploy forces from Europe to reinforce the defence of its eastern flank. This reinforcement will occur during a simulated emerging conflict scenario with a near-peer adversary, showing the ARF capability to conduct and sustain complex operations across thousands of kilometers and in any condition. Approximately 10.000 personnel from 9 Allies and including air, land, maritime and special operation forces will participate. STDT25 will be carried out in Romania, Bulgaria and Greece with the host nations' support to demonstrate NATO's responsiveness in delivering significant deterrence effects. Live capability demonstrations will be conducted including amphibious operations, live-fire air power and combined maneuvers across all domains.
