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.

Medics from the Iowa Air and Army National Guard as well as Kosovo and the United Kingdom gathered for a two-week exercise.

Building on several in-country State Partnership Program (SPP) medical events from summer and fall 2016, medical planners from Iowa and Kosovo worked together to identify goals that both broaden the skill set and leadership experience of medical personnel, and explore combined “warrior task” engagement opportunities.

Over the two-week period spent at STC, they had the opportunity to train at the Medical Simulation Training Center (MSTC) – where they obtained and demonstrated critical combat lifesaving skills, perform and hone individual medical tasks in a medical treatment facility (MTF) environment as well as participate and grow as leaders during staff section training and seminars on the Military Decision Making Process (MDMP).
