NATO wrapped up its largest and most complex computer-assisted, command post exercise of the 21st century on Oct. 19.
Exercise Steadfast Jupiter 2023 is a milestone in operationalizing the concept for the Deterrence and Defense of the Euro-Atlantic Area (DDA): a strategy for the short to medium term that enables Allies to rapidly strengthen NATO's deterrence and defense posture in all domains. DDA sets the foundation for the Alliance’s multi-domain architecture in peace, crisis, and conflict and underscores a more harmonized military planning network for NATO’s 31 member nations.
More than 7,000 personnel from 17 NATO nations and 24 multinational headquarters exercised every aspect of military operations from the strategic to the tactical levels. The purpose of the exercise was to test and improve NATO’s ability to conduct complex military operations.
