Video: Exercise Steadfast Cobalt 2023 gets underway

Steadfast Cobalt 2023 is NATO’s largest Communications and Information System (CIS) exercise which will be conducted by the NATO CIS Group (NCISG) from March 20 to May 5, 2023, to kick start NATO Response Force (NRF) preparation activities.

Steadfast Cobalt 2023 will validate CIS connectivity and interoperability among participating NRF units through data exchanges and sustained communication among joint and component headquarters and combat units of the NRF worldwide.

The aim is to improve readiness and increase speed by ensuring that all contributing units are ready and prepared to deploy CIS in support of NRF Missions.

“STEADFAST COBALT 2023 improves readiness and increases speed by ensuring that all contributing units are ready and prepared to deploy CIS in support of NRF Missions as well as on land, in the air and at sea, whose presence and activities assure Alliance members and deter potential adversaries,” said Commander NCISG Major General Frank Schlösser.
