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 Black Beauty Reservoir renovation was funded as a part of the Army’s Organic Industrial Base Modernization Plan that focuses on prioritizing and synchronizing resources to focus on critical facilities and capabilities which are necessary to sustain and build upon resource capacity for the Army’s current and developing systems to enable surge capacity. Black Beauty was constructed by the U.S. Navy in 1952 and remained under Navy control until the depot’s transfer to the Army in 1977. The reservoir stores 50 million gallons of water and is utilized in demilitarization process and relied upon for irrigation and potable water throughout HWAD. Prior to the renovation, the reservoir was inoperable, which placed a great strain on Mineral County’s water supply.
