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 Marine will place tension into the TRX by pushing down on the handle. They will lift the right or left leg off the deck and hinge at the hip with an unlocked knee on the support leg and back flat. The Marine will go as far as they can until they feel a stretch in the hamstring and glute of the support leg. They will hold for a 2 count and return to the starting position.
Common Mistakes: - Not keeping shoulder and hips square
- Slack in the TRX
