HOHENFELS, Germany — U.S. armed forces with militaries from 14 NATO allies and partner countries initiated the 19th iteration of the annual joint combat operation exercise, Combined Resolve, Oct. 10, at the Joint Multinational Readiness Center near Hohenfels, Germany.

U.S. Army European and African Command directs Combined Resolve 24-01, which is scheduled to end Nov. 11, and includes nearly 4,000 participants with the main objectives of improving interoperability and deterring potential adversaries.

“The significance of Combined Resolve is definitely interoperability between our troops and the allied nation troops, understanding their movements and being able to fight together instead of individually,” said U.S. Army Sgt. Cody Ghettie, a small unmanned aircraft system master trainer assigned to 101st Airborne Division, 1st Brigade Combat Team.

The 1st Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division, stationed at Fort Campbell, Kentucky, is the primary American force training audience working alongside other participating NATO countries.

The 7th Army Training Command provides the training areas and logistical support to ensure safety and operational readiness for every exercise conducted. Combined Resolve 24-01 is designed to prepare 101st Airborne Division, 1st Brigade Combat Team to respond more effectively and efficiently in support of NATO deterrence initiatives by building and strengthening relationships with NATO countries.

“We don’t always know how allied nations operate,” said Ghettie. “Being able to see each other working out in the field, using these systems, and understanding how their equipment works, and for them to familiarize with how our equipment works really gives us better knowledge of how our units can provide support.”

Combined Resolve 24-01 provides a great opportunity for U.S. Army soldiers to improve their ability to operate with allies through immersion in different nations’ cultures, languages, and technical and tactical systems. By the end of the exercise, participating NATO countries and the U.S. Army aspire to build and strengthen relationships, becoming more lethal in combat to deter potential adversaries.

Sgt. Bria Gates, a geospatial engineer for the Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion of the 10th Mountain Division said, “I’m looking forward to learning a lot from our NATO partners on how they operate versus how we operate and how we can collaborate together and become one unit.”

Combined Resolve 24-01 promotes regional stability and security by increasing readiness. It prepares NATO allies and partner nations to respond more efficiently and effectively to regional crises and meet their own security needs.

“Our main focus during the exercise is to assist and guide our partner nations to be the ones that do most of the action,” said Gates. “We are there for support and guidance so that they can learn how we work and we learn their thought processes and the way that they do things so we can find a happy medium.”

The 7th ATC conducts multi-domain, realistic and challenging exercises. After Combined Resolve 24-01 concludes, the U.S. Army and partner nations will be reinforced in readiness and interoperability to assure and deter threats in increasingly complex security environments.
