US Army Europe Best Warrior Logo

 
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.

The 379th Expeditionary Operations Support Squadron’s Base Weather Flight is the official weather source for Al Udeid Air Base. Coalition forces, including the Qatar Emiri Air Force, use the flight’s information for all of their weather needs and mission planning. Duties include conducting “geographic familiarization flight” to determine how terrain influences weather patterns. Additionally, the flight has three major functions: mission integration, airfield support, and staff integration. The largest function is mission integration, which includes mission execution forecasts and flight weather briefings. Another function of the weather flight is airfield support, in which Airmen are responsible for weather observing and resource protection.
