13 allied NATO nations came together to execute a Joint Allied Power Demonstration (JAPDD) in Cincu, Romania on June 1, 2021. Displays in the event included reconnaissance drones, snipers, special forces, remote EOD, close air support, and indirect fire from mortar teams. The event, a part of Steadfast Defender 2021, showed the readiness and response capabilities of the Very High Readiness Joint Task Force. Steadfast Defender 2021 is one of many associate-exercises throughout Europe that take place during DEFENDER-Europe 21.

DEFENDER-Europe 21 is a large-scale U.S. Army-led exercise designed to build readiness and interoperability between the U.S., NATO allies and partner militaries.
