Press Release, Madrid, 02 October 2025: [auto-translated] Between September 29 and October 10, the 6th ‘Almogávares’ Parachute Brigade will lead the LONG PRECISION 25 (LG25) exercise, in which precision rifle teams from various allied countries – USA, Great Britain, Italy, France, Portugal, Brazil and Argentina – will participate, along with teams from the Spanish National Security Forces – Civil Guard and National Police.
The annual LONG PRECISION exercise has become the most important exercise for the Spanish Armed Forces in terms of precision rifle training, its main objective being to train and integrate these teams in different scenarios and conflicts. The diversity of participants allows for the exchange of national and international techniques, tactics, procedures, and lessons learned, as well as mutual knowledge of new equipment and materials, to improve the specific capabilities of these units.
The exercise consists of two phases: the first at the Casas de Uceda Manoeuvre and Training Area (Guadalajara) from September 29 to October 2, where emphasis will be placed on combat training in different situations; and the second at the San Gregorio Training Centre (Zaragoza) from October 3 to 10, where efforts will focus on field training in conventional and irregular combat scenarios, with integration and coordination among the participants.
The 6th ‘Almogávares’ Parachute Brigade is the unit of the Spanish Army’s Land Force organised and prepared to conduct military operations that require an initial response to a crisis. The Spanish Army works to maintain its high operational readiness, expeditionary capabilities, and interoperability in order to rapidly integrate into national and international operational structures.
