The NATO Alliance is an agent of political and military change, twenty six nations working together with one goal, to ensure peace and security.

The three linked exercises, Noble Mariner, Noble Award and Kindred Sword will be a visible demonstration of this - a valuable opportunity for our forces to train together in a joint environment, raising combat readiness, certifying the Component Commands and increasing the coherence of the NATO Response Force (NRF) as a whole.

Joint Force Command Naples and her subordinate commands are spearheading the way forward to foster stability and peace for millions of people. That is our mission and that is what we are training for.
