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.

Preparation:
The Marine will start in the kneeling position with the right foot flat, left knee on the deck, and, both knees at a 90 degree bend, they will be facing the anchor point. The Marine will grasp the TRX handles with an overhanded grip.
Execution:

From the top position they will drop back down while keeping hands over head and tension in the TRX and tap the knee on the deck.
Common Mistakes: - Slack in the TRX
