Firefighters move through a smoke-filled engine room, finding and treating a “wounded” sailor in a simulated missile attack aboard warship Mendez Nuñez. Dramatic footage of sailor being wheeled across ship’s deck to helicopter and then helicopter taking off.
This is one tactical exercise among many within Exercise JOINT WARRIOR, which will run from April 11-24 off the coast of Scotland. NATO’s three standing naval forces (SNFs) consisting of 14 ships will join more than 40 additional warships and submarines and 70 aircraft. In total, around 13,000 personnel from 14 countries are participating in the exercise.
The exercise provides complex coordinated training, increasing interoperability between Allied forces and providing valuable experience integrating land, air, and maritime forces.
