Since their arrival in Romania, on 29 May, the VJTF units have been carrying out various exercises on a multinational level in order to improve their combat capabilties, with the aim of reinforcing the interoperability of the armed forces of the participating countries.

"Any opportunity we have to interoperate with our allies, especially other NATO countries, is a great honour," affirms second liuetenant Adam Sprinkle, AH-64 Apache helicopter pilot from the nº 12 Air combat Brigade from Ansbach, Germany. "Each country operates in a slightly different way and improving our relationships with these countries is invaluable," he added.  

Exercises that have been carried out up to now have been from infantry fundamentals and armoured movement to the most complex medical evaluations and aerial attacks. The next exercises seek to bring together the multinational units in order to conclude the Noble Jump exercise with an impressive fire exercise on 14 June.
Designed to examine the key elements of the NATO Readiness Action Plan, the VJTF Noble Jump exercise aims to emphasise the rapid deployment capability in the NATO "launch point" of the assigned operations zone.
The multinational members of the VJTF have been deployed from bases in the United Kingdom, Germany, Holland, Spain, Poland, Norway and Albania, and have been reinforced by approximately 2,000 Romanian soldiers. Arriving by different combinations of air, sea, train and road, the NATO Allies prove that the Alliance is capable of offering a rapid and dissuasive response to any threat.
