With participation from the NATO nations of Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Lithuania, Romania, Turkey, United Kingdom, and the United States; Exercise Dynamic Front II kicked off at the 7th Army Training Command’s Grafenwoehr Training Area, Germany. Dynamic Front II is an artillery operability exercise that focuses on developing solutions to identify gaps and limitations within the theater level fires system by executing multi-echelon fires and test interoperability at the tactical level with Artillery Systems Cooperation Activities (ASCA) and aspiring ASCA members in a live environment.
