Dynamic Front

The next iteration of exercise Dynamic Front takes place from Nov. 4-24, 2024 in Finland, Estonia, Germany, Poland, and Romania. It demonstrates NATO’s ability to share fire missions, target information, and operational graphics from the Arctic to the Black Sea.
The exercise increases the lethality of the Alliance through long-distance fires, builds unit readiness in a complex joint, multi-national environment, and leverages host nation capabilities to increase USARUER-AF’s operational reach. Dynamic Front is planned to include more than 1,800 U.S. and 3,700 multi-national service members from 28 Allied and partner nations.

NRL Oyster Restoration Volunteer Project

U.S. Naval Research Laboratory

Sept. 3, 2021 | 2:47

Each year through a partnership with the Chesapeake Beach Oyster Cultivation Society (CBOCS), NRL hosts the two-part project to grow and release mature oyster spat in the Bay.

NRL receives oyster spat to sink on its docks each fall, spat are oyster larvae that are attached to a surface, in this case an oyster shell surface. The following summer the oyster cages are hoisted out of the water, spat are counted, and the oysters are motored out to be spread on a reef.

This year is the first year that volunteers for the oyster restoration project were outside of the environmental department, expanding to employees across NRL divisions. Alisha Sutton, natural resource manager at NRL leads the program each year.
