Exercise Steadfast Jupiter Reinforces Muscle Memory For Multi-Domain Operations
More than 600 personnel from Allied nations and partners such as Finland and Sweden have successfully completed the 2-week Exercise Steadfast Jupiter 21 at Allied Air Command. The Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe-sponsored command post exercise took place from 19 to 28 October and is a key training event for the Alliance, testing readiness and integration from strategic to tactical levels of command.
This exercise provided essential training for NATO’s Air and Space Command and Control (C2) specialists with their colleagues at Joint Force Command Brunssum to ensure air operations and space effects could be synchronized with the other components (land, maritime, special forces) and nations. Multi-domain responses to non-traditional threats were also exercised, with Allied personnel reacting to simulated cyber attacks and countering adversary information operations.

Additionally, the NATO Space Centre, located at Allied Air Command played a central role and brought real-world awareness to exercise participants. Working with national Space Operations Centres from many Allied nations, the Centre provided space situational awareness data and products to all Commands. Given the impact of the space domain on operations on land, sea and in the air, these inputs from the NATO Space Centre assisted the planning and execution of operations throughout the exercise.
