Led by the Royal Navy, Exercise Joint Warrior 23-1 is a biannual, multilateral, multi-warfare exercise that incorporates surface, subsurface, airborne, and land scenarios to provide joint training in a multi-threat environment for NATO units.

Participating nations include Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain, Poland, the UK and the U.S.

The exercise will predominantly take place off the Northern coast of Norway and throughout the Northern European Seas with more than 30 ships, 4 submarines and multiple aircraft ranging from maritime patrol to troop transporters.

One of the ships taking part is the USS Arleigh Burke, lead of her class of destroyer. Under the command and control of Commander, Task Force 65, ship will join allies in the two-week long multilateral training exercise.

“During Joint Warrior we validate and develop new capabilities that allow NATO allies to fight more effectively alongside one another,” said CDR Peter Flynn, commanding officer of USS Arleigh Burke.

“America’s Lead Destroyer, USS Arleigh Burke, brings a highly capable ship and an enthusiastic crew – when combined with our NATO allies, we are the most capable fighting force on Earth.”
