Exercise Steadfast Dart 2025 (STDT25) is under way. These photos showcase NATO’s Allied Reaction Force (ARF), a high-readiness, multi-domain force capable of rapid deployment across Europe. The exercise demonstrates NATO’s ability to reinforce its eastern flank, integrating air, land, maritime, and special operations forces.
As part of the strategic deployment phase, UK and Spanish forces arrived at Alexandroupolis, Greece, where they worked alongside the Hellenic Army to offload and refuel vehicles before moving towards Romania’s Smardan Camp. Meanwhile, a military base in north-east Germany provided essential convoy support, ensuring smooth passage for UK forces en-route to Romania.
With 10000 personnel, 1500 vehicles, 20 aircraft, and 17 naval assets involved, the ARF has demonstrated seamless coordination and logistical prowess. Reinforcing NATO’s commitment to collective defence and rapid response. STDT25 highlights the Alliance’s ability to deploy forces swiftly, deter potential threats, and enhance multinational interoperability.
This exercise underscores NATO’s strength, unity, and readiness, proving that the ARF is always prepared to respond to emerging challenges—anytime, anywhere. [CLICK THE IMAGE BELOW TO SEE MORE]
