U.S. Army Soldiers from the 1st Battalion, 4th Infantry Regiment, playing the role of opposing forces, use drones of various makes and models to simulate complex warfare and tactics to train multinational forces throughout Saber Junction 23 at the Joint Multinational Readiness Center near Hohenfels, Germany. Saber Junction 23 allows the U.S. and its NATO allies and partners to refine existing tactics, and develop new, battlefield-critical capabilities.

Saber Junction 23 is an annual U.S. Army exercise with NATO allies and partners including 4,000 participants from 16 different countries training together from Aug. 28 to Sept. 23, 2023. The primary training audience for the exercise is the 2nd Cavalry Regiment, a U.S. Army Stryker Brigade Combat Team based in Germany. While U.S.-led, this exercise will develop and enhance NATO allies and partners’ interoperability and readiness.
