Nato's 'Trident Juncture 2015' biggest military exercise in 13 years
TRAPANI: North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (Nato) is launching its biggest military exercise in 13 years, mobilising 36,000 soldiers, sailors and airmen from more than 30 countries to test the alliance's ability to respond to new security threats.
Nato Deputy Secretary-General Alexander Vershbow told the opening ceremony Monday that the Trident Juncture exercise will demonstrate that Nato "can deal with everything from conventional military engagements to more subtle hybrid warfare techniques and propaganda."
