The NATO VJTF (Very High Readiness Joint Task Force) NOJU23 (NOBLE JUMP 2023) deployment exercise is drawing to a conclusion in Sardinia, reports Bob Morrison.

Yesterday, Wednesay May 11th, we joined the German-led VJTF multinational battlegroup of the NATO Response Force (NRF) on Italy’s Teulada training area on the Mediterranean island to watch a rehearsal for the Joint Allied Power Demonstration Day (JAPDD) scheduled for tomorrow. Today we are temporarily leaving the exercise to cover another interesting defence subject, but in the meantime here are a couple of images from the rehearsal to whet the appetite.
