The exercise is one of the premier military crisis response training events featuring high readiness airborne forces from eight NATO nations. Activities include intermediate staging base operations, multiple airborne operations, and several air assault operations. The Swift Response exercises have had great success in creating a foundation for the strong relationships we share with several European allies and partners today.
