More than 2,000 soldiers from 19 countries gathered in Rota and El Retin, for training on numerous maneuvers onboard our SRMN 600. The aim: to improve the European Union’s ability to respond to a crisis in these uncertain times, with a fully operational rapid deployment capability by 2025.

This was an important milestone for the EU, with this exercise the first to be carried out with real special forces deployed in the field.
