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.

On Nov. 25, 1942, the 25th Infantry Division was ordered to the island of Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands to seize the island from the remaining Japanese forces. Prior to the Division going on the offensive, The U.S. Marine Corps had gained valuable ground and had been staunchly defending against fierce Japanese counterattacks. By February 1943, U.S. Forces including Division Soldiers approached from the south and east, capturing the town of Tenaro at Cape Esperance, marking the end of organized Japanese resistance on the island. The unprecedented speed at which the division accomplished their mission turned the tide of the war in the Pacific earning them their nickname Tropic Lightning. (U.S. Army video by Spc.
