Exercise Combined Resolve V is a US Army Europe-directed multinational exercise involving more than 4,000 participants from ten Nato and partner nations.

The CALFEX involved soldiers conducting a combined-arms breach while integrating mounted and dismounted manoeuvres with artillery fires, AH-64 attack aviation, and close-air support from A-10 Thunderbolt II.

The army focused on multinational unified land operations with the CALFEX, which has reinforced the US’ commitment towards Nato and Europe.

"I would like to thank US Army Europe for this great opportunity."

Soldiers from the Republic of Georgia and Romania trained alongside the brigade throughout Combined Resolve.
