During the NATO exercise Trident Juncture 2015 the alliance will practice military interventions in North Africa
The NATO exercise Trident Juncture 2015 will take place during October 2015 and until early November in Italy, Portugal, and the State of Spain. According to a variety of sources, this will be the “largest exercise of NATO since the end of the Cold War”, “largest exercise conducted by the Alliance since 2002” (…) and “the Alliance’s most important exercise in 2015”, or “the largest deployment of the Alliance in the last decade”. The exercise consists of two clearly distinguished phases, a command post exercise (CPX, 3-16 October) and a phase of real action (Live Exercise, LIVEX, 21 October-6 November).
