Synopsis
Exercise Allied Spirit, part of DEFENDER-Europe 20 Plus, is underway in Poland, with US and Polish soldiers working together to circumvent obstacles and move troops.
DEFENDER-Europe 20 was adapted to keep soldiers and civilians safe during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. After careful study and consideration, the US forces determined they could minimise risks by using a smaller force. Overall, 6,000 US and Polish soldiers will participate in Allied Spirit, which is being held in Poland’s Drawsko Pomorskie Training Area.
Footage includes shots of US and Polish paratroopers dropping from transport aircraft, US armoured units using a Polish floating bridge to cross a river, and interviews with US and Polish Army officers.
