NATO members are currently conducting the military alliance’s largest combat exercises of 2025 amid increased pressure from President Donald Trump’s administration for European allies to “lead from the front.”
The Associated Press reported that the Steadfast Dart 2025 combat exercises are being conducted in Romania, which shares a border with Ukraine, as the third anniversary of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine approaches.
According to NATO’s website, Exercise Steadfast Dart 2025 is intended to “test and train the operational deployment of the Allied Reaction Force (ARF) to NATO Vigilance Area South-East, focusing on the planning and execution of a pre-crisis multi-domain activity that aims to reinforce the Allied forces located in Romania and Bulgaria.”
The Steadfast Dart 2025 combat exercises include roughly 10,000 military personnel from nine different nations under NATO’s Allied Reaction Force, according to The Associated Press. The outlet noted that the military drills will take place over a period of six weeks in Romania, Greece, and Bulgaria.
