Gen. Joseph Hilbert<\/a>, the head of 7th Army Training Command, said in an interview with Army Times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The command, which is based in Grafenwoehr, Germany, and falls under the purview of U.S. Army Europe and Africa, is responsible for providing training to all of its troops as well as to NATO allies and other partner nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Hilbert discussed the four following major exercises that 7th ATC ran this past year, before also reviewing updates to the command\u2019s other renovation projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Defender Europe<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The largest of 7th ATC\u2019s exercises, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.europeafrica.army.mil\/DefenderEurope\/\" target=\"_blank\">Defender Europe<\/a>, took place in May and included 11 allied and partner nations. The annual war game, which began in 2020, is considered a defense exercise meant to build readiness and demonstrate the strong U.S. commitment to NATO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou will see the Defender series continue in U.S. Army Europe and Africa in the years to come. We are finding that to be a very critical and valuable exercise,\u201d Hilbert said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of the more than 13,000 multinational troops participating in the exercise, nearly 10,000 of them were U.S. forces, according to 7th ATC spokesperson Maj. Tabitha Hernandez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dynamic Front<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Described by Hilbert as an \u201cartillery exercise pure and simple,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.europeafrica.army.mil\/What-We-Do\/Exercises\/Dynamic-Front\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dynamic Front this year<\/a> offered a chance for the U.S. and its allies to increase their technical cooperation and readiness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Led by 56th Artillery Command, 19 nations met at Grafenwoehr in July for a series of live-fire tests and other drills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou don\u2019t have to look any further than the current conflict in Ukraine to see the importance of being able to mass artillery fire. This is an exercise where we\u2019re able to do that at the multinational level,\u201d said Hilbert, who was not authorized to share more about training Ukrainian troops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of the nearly 3,000 multinational troops participating in the exercise, a little more than 1,500 were U.S. forces, according to Hernandez.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Allied Spirit<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Another major warfighting exercise with 7th ATC this year, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.7atc.army.mil\/AlliedSpirit\/\" target=\"_blank\">Allied Spirit,<\/a> provided an opportunity for U.S. forces to operate under the leadership of an allied brigade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It took place at Hohenfels, Germany, in January and February with 15 different nations. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.army.mil\/article\/253945\/us_army_exercise_allied_spirit_22_concludes_in_hohenfels_germany\" target=\"_blank\">Germany provided the higher headquarters<\/a> in this installment of the exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of the more than 6,000 multinational troops participating, a little more than 1,700 of them were U.S. forces, Hernandez said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Saber Junction<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cYou can think of this as the inverse of Allied Spirit. If Allied Spirit is an allied brigade with a U.S. battalion, Saber Junction is going to be predominantly a U.S. brigade, but we\u2019re going to throw allies in there,\u201d Hilbert said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.7atc.army.mil\/SaberJunction\/\" target=\"_blank\">Saber Junction,<\/a> which began at the end of August at Hohenfels, is similarly designed to other 7th ATC training operations to test the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.army.mil\/article\/260058\/saber_junction_22_begins_in_germany\" target=\"_blank\">readiness of U.S. troops<\/a> and some allied and partner nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Of the more than 4,400 multinational troops participating in the exercise, Hernandez said, a little more than 3,500 of them were U.S. forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Updating training areas<\/h1>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to repeating its major combat exercises in the next year, 7th ATC is also pursuing initiatives to update its training areas, especially as some special operations troops at the Stuttgart garrison are repositioned to the more rural Baumholder installation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cA total of 10 projects are programmed through [fiscal 2027] at Baumholder, with the last project completion projected in FY29,\u201d Hernandez said in a statement, highlighting modernization projects that include \u201csmall arms ranges, a sniper range complex, live fire shoot houses and breaching facilities.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brig.
