HOHENFELS, Germany -- The Royal Military Academy Sandhurst, the United Kingdom's commissioning source for its army officers, is training again in Hohenfels, Germany.

The exercise, Dynamic Victory, is designed to assess and confirm the suitability of each officer cadets' capacity to survive and fight in field operations prior to commissioning into the British Army.

Over 200 cadets from the academy are currently training at the Joint Multinational Readiness Center in Hohenfels.

Dynamic Victory is a fast-paced exercise that incorporates all phases of a deployment operation, and assesses cadets' leadership and tactical abilities across a range of tasks.

The cadets first traveled to the Joint Multinational Training Command in Grafenwoehr, Germany to conduct a live-fire exercise. Immediately upon completion of that event, the cadets moved to Hohenfels to conduct situational tactical exercises at the JMRC. The cadets will complete their training on Friday with a battalion level capstone exercise.

The exercise is controlled and planned by military faculty from the academy, and executed in conjunction with observer controllers and opposition forces from JMRC known as OPFOR.

This is the fifth time the Royal Military Academy has conducted this exercise in Hohenfels.

JMRC is the U.S. Army's only Europe-based combat training center. JMRC maintains a world-wide mobile training capability, and trains leaders, staffs, and units up to Brigade Combat Teams and multinational partners, to dominate in the conduct of Unified Land Operations anywhere in the world, now and in the future.
