Allied Spirit is a U.S. Army exercise for multinational partners, conducted at 7th Army Training Command training areas at Grafenwoehr and Hohenfels, Germany.

Unlike other USAREUR-AF exercises, which feature U.S. brigade combat teams in a lead role augmented by Allies and partners, Allied Spirit places an Allied unit as the main training audience. While U.S.-led, this exercise will develop and enhance NATO and key partner interoperability and readiness across specified warfighting functions.

Army Emergency Relief

Sgt. Justin Kim, an avionic mechanic in Delta Company, 2-2 Assault Helicopter Battalion, 2nd Combat Aviation Brigade, Camp Humphreys, Republic of Korea, used Army Emergency Relief's Career Skills Support Program to travel back to the United States to participate in an internship. Kim is beginning his transition to civilian life and is taking part in the U.S. Army's Career Skills Program.

CSP gives retiring and separating Soldiers to participate in skills training during their transitional periods to improve their civilian employment options. The program’s focus is on pre-apprenticeship and apprenticeships, on-the-job training, internships, job shadowing and other types of employment skills training during Soldiers’ last 180 days of service.

Active-duty Soldiers E1-E9, O1-O3 and W1-W5 are eligible for CSSP grants from $250 to $1,000 based on location. The money helps offset the out-of-pocket costs Soldiers incur when participating in CSP.
