NATO Tests its Responsiveness, Command & Control, and Defence Posture with STEADFAST JUPITER 2023

October 10, 2023

STAVANGER, NORWAY. The Joint Warfare Centre, one of three subordinate commands under NATO Allied Command Transformation, commenced exercise STEADFAST JUPITER 2023 on October 10th, 2023.

Scheduled by NATO’s Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe and directed by the Joint Warfare Centre, STEADFAST JUPITER 2023 is designed to strengthen low- and high-intensity warfighting skillsets of the NATO Command and Force Structure Headquarters, using a multi-domain, multi joint operational area scenario – a significant increase in the level of ambition, scale and complexity. STEADFAST JUPITER 2023 will be the largest and most complex undertakings in NATO in recent history, and an excellent opportunity to test NATO’s responsiveness, command and control, and defence posture in a highly challenging multi-threat environment, based on a simulated Article 5 scenario. The exercise focuses on collective defence across the whole spectrum of NATO’s 360-degree approach to security.

Although the exercise primarily focuses on the joint operational level, it will be conducted at four levels, including the strategic and operational levels, as well as the tactical and second-tactical levels for both component- and corps-level operations.

The long-planned defensive exercise involves 24 training audiences, including the NATO Response Force 2024, located at 27 different locations in Europe and the North America.
