More than 4800 troops from eleven member countries of NATO are participating in simultaneous multinational airborne operations taking place across Bulgaria, Romania, Germany and Italy, which are going to last for four weeks between August 17 and September 13.
The goal of the training is to integrate the high-readiness forces of NATO to operate as a cohesive team and demonstrate the capacity of the alliance to rapidly deploy and operate in support of maintaining a strong and secure Europe.
The statement has not made an explicit reference to the lasting conflict in Ukraine, where fighting between the government forces and pro-Russian separatists has escalated in the recent days.
The troops participating in the training, which is led by the US army, will be from Bulgaria, France, Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Spain, the UK and the USA.
The culmination of Swift Response is expected to be on August 26, when simultaneous airborne joint forced entries into Bulgaria's Novo Selo Training Area and Germany's Hohenfels Training Area are scheduled to take place.
The drills will conclude by multinational platoon and company live fire at the Grafenwohr Training Area in Germany.
