NATO RESPONSE FORCE EXERCISE BRILLIANT ARDENT 2010

Exercise BRILLIANT ARDENT 10 (BAT 10) is a large scale NATO Response Force (NRF) Air Live Exercise (Air LIVEX) to be hosted by Germany over the period 12-22 April 2010. Air Forces from the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Turkey and the USA will participate in the exercise. BAT 10 will be directed and controlled from Izmir, Turkey by Commander Allied Air Command Izmir.

Around 60 aircraft ranging from fighters, attack aircraft, helicopters, tanker and airborne early warning aircraft will operate from air bases located in Germany, the Czech Republic, France, Poland, and UK. In addition, tactical employment of Theatre Missile Defence (TMD) and Ground Based Air Defence (GBAD) assets will be extensively exercised.

The aim of BAT 10 is to train, test, integrate and validate the interoperability, readiness and capabilities of NRF 15 nominated air forces and associated command structures by exercising NRF missions and tasks in a challenging and realistic scenario. The exercise is also open to “non NRF” air units from NATO, as well as Partnership for Peace (PfP) nations, and provides an outstanding training opportunity for them. The exercise scenario is based around a UN mandated NATO-led Crisis Response Operation (CRO) in a fictitious geo-political setting, a scenario specifically designed for this exercise.

The NRF concept provides the Alliance with a robust capability to meet the challenging security environment of the 21st century by providing a highly trained and agile force, at high readiness, able to deploy at short notice wherever and whenever directed to do so by the North Atlantic Council.

The NRF comprises deployable NATO Land, Maritime and Air Forces provided by Nations on a rotational basis. Training of the force is both essential and continual in order to maintain assigned forces at peak readiness. It is only through exercises such as BAT 10 that NRF forces can be operationally certified as trained, capable and ready to fulfil the NRF mission.
