Allied Spirit 25 (AS25) is a recurring exercise taking place at the Joint Multinational Readiness Center and designed to prepare a multinational brigade in support of NATO deterrence initiatives. Unlike other exercises, AS25 features a brigade from a NATO Ally as the primary training alongside other Allies and Partners to develop and enhance NATO and key partner interoperability and readiness. Strong U.S.-European partnerships are crucial for peace and stability in the region and for defense of the homeland. (U.S. Army video by Sgt. Joseph Peake)
