WHAT IS SABER JUNCTION?

Saber Junction 2012, the U.S. Army Europe’s premier training event, is a large-scale, joint, multinational, military exercise involving thousands of personnel from 19 different nations and hundreds of military aircraft and vehicles. It is the largest exercise of its kind that U.S. Army Europe has conducted in more than 20 years.

Saber Junction is hosted by U.S. Army Europe’s Joint Multinational Training Command and Joint Multinational Readiness Center at Grafenwoehr and Hohenfels Training Areas, Germany, Sept. 30 - Oct. 30, and will facilitate the U.S. Army’s 2nd Cavalry Regiment as they train with more than 1,800 foreign personnel from 18 partner nations in Unified Land Operations and interoperability.

The exercise highlights the U.S. Army’s Decisive Action Training Environment, which prepares U.S. and multinational Soldiers for land operations through the simultaneous combination of offensive, defensive and stability operations appropriate to the mission and the environment, and to promote interoperability with partner nations.  

Saber Junction 2012 will see the use of jets, helicopters, Main Battle Tanks, Infantry Fighting Vehicles, Stryker Combat Vehicles, and more than 200 wheeled vehicles and 90 tracked vehicles.
