Dynamic Front

The U.S. Army’s largest artillery interoperability exercise in Europe serves as the practical application of the Eastern Flank Deterrence Line (EFDL). Dynamic Front 26 focuses on integrating lethal and non-lethal effects across land, air, sea, cyber, and space to counter anti-access/area denial systems and massed forces.

56th Multi-Domain Command-Europe, alongside NATO Allies and partners, will commence Dynamic Front 26, a multinational training exercise designed to rehearse NATO regional plans and enhance the integration of multi-domain fires across a distributed battlefield.

Unlike previous iterations, Dynamic Front 26 emphasizes command-and-control and simulation while conducting live-fire training across multiple Allied nations. This approach reflects the realities of modern warfare, where forces must operate across distance, national boundaries, and domains while maintaining speed and precision.
 
The last iteration of exercise Dynamic Front took place from Nov. 4-24, 2024 in Finland, Estonia, Germany, Poland, and Romania. It demonstrated NATO’s ability to share fire missions, target information, and operational graphics from the Arctic to the Black Sea.

The exercise increased the lethality of the Alliance through long-distance fires, built unit readiness in a complex joint, multi-national environment, and leveraged host nation capabilities to increase USARUER-AF’s operational reach. Dynamic Front included more than 1,800 U.S. and 3,700 multi-national service members from 28 Allied and partner nations.
