Avenger Triad 26 assesses command-and-control gaps in large-scale European combat scenario

The U.S. Army identified command-and-control gaps during Avenger Triad 26, a multinational exercise that simulated large-scale combat across European headquarters. Nearly 100 Joint Modernization Command personnel conducted Joint Warfighting Assessment 26 within the wider event, which involved about 2,000 U.S. and 2,000 multinational participants at command posts in France, Germany, the Netherlands and Poland. The assessment examined how headquarters integrate information, electronic warfare, space and protection capabilities at corps and theater level. Findings will guide changes to systems and procedures; the exercise was an evaluation rather than deployment of a new command platform.
