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.

MSgt. Jonathan Lind and his wife TSgt. Jocelyn Lind started the Warrior Braids Hair Regulation Revisions Team and worked with the Women's Initiatives Team (WIT). Based on their efforts, the Air Force hair regulation was altered to allow braids and ponytails for women while in uniform.

This regulation came into effect in Feb. of 2021. However, the fight didn't start there. In 2016, MSgt. Lind and his wife began looking into female hair regulations. They noticed widespread issues including lack of inclusivity associated with different hair types, hair loss and chronic headaches.
Now being highlighted in the 2022 Women's Air and Space Power Symposium, MSgt. Lind discusses this issue that affects so many women in service.
