Exercise Anakonda 2016 (AN16) is one of the U.S. Army’s premier multinational training events in Europe. AN16 is a Polish national exercise that seeks to train, exercise and integrate Polish national command and force structures into an allied, joint, multinational environment.
This exercise further supports assurance and deterrence measures by demonstrating allied defense capabilities to deploy, mass, and sustain combat power. Footage shows soldiers infill via ground and air with helicopters fast roping into the combat training zone and simulating firefights under the eyes of NATO and Russian officials who were invited to visit the exercise.
