The new Allied Reaction Force (ARF) – NATO’s premiere quick-response capability – practised rapid deployment during exercise STEADFAST DART 25 (STDT25). It was the ARF’s first deployment.
Hosted by Bulgaria, Greece and Romania, STEADFAST DART 25 convened approximately 10,000 troops from nine NATO countries: Bulgaria, France, Greece, Italy, Romania, Slovenia, Spain, Türkiye and the United Kingdom. The exercise tested their ability to quickly transport forces to the Black Sea Region and conduct integration training in advance of DACIA 25, a Romanian-led exercise.
The ARF is part of the new NATO Force Model, which focuses on defending Allied territory with rapid-reaction forces and strategic plans tailored to each region. The ARF is currently led by NATO Rapid Deployable Corps Italy.
